I finally got my metadata into shape over the weekend and stored with my movies on my Windows Home Server. I ended up pretty much deleting all the files that weren't subtitles or the video itself and then running Media Companion over night to fill things in. That worked out well, although some of the main movie posters didn't work and I had to manually set them.
Both installs of XBMC seem to be using this data, the posters match those I selected and the movie details are displaying.
Now that I am up to date, how can I ensure that new content is scraped globally (not just on one XBMC install)? Can I use a program like yammm that is always running and checking for new videos? I'm afraid if I run a different program that it may interfere with the scraping that Media Companion has done and possibly over write the data that I have checked with incorrect data. Will yammm or another program leave the current stuff alone since it already has an nfo file and just update the new directories that are missing the nfo?
What types of programs/services are people using and how do you like them? Thanks for any suggestions!
