According to Jonathan (an actual XBMC developer) it only gets captured during playback or when viewing a playlist. And Jonathan also stated that for iso's, it would only capture during playback.
If the nfo was output as these are, then XBMC would update the durations and other streamdetails just fine. However, I don't believe ANY media manager currently scrapes the video file header data to get the actual files duration. Rather, they depend on what the duration is based on imdb, themovie, thetvdb, or other movie or tv scraper. These are not necessarily the same as the file's actual duration.
You guys can say I don't know what I am talking about, but my test results have been validated by what Jonathan has stated.
First thanks for that link, it's bookmarked and I'm going to scour over it for info.
Just so you know I don't want you to think I don't believe you. I'm reporting what is happening for me, and that could be for any number of reasons. I believe that you are having the issues you say. I don't know why but I'm not having the same issue you are.
The test I did worked this way - I first scraped the movie in Ember, this is also a file that never was played in XBMC to this point either. Then I went into XBMC and went to movies and ran the "update library" command. After that I picked a playlist that I knew would look for that movie and made it channel_1. I then ran PsuedoTV and it picked the movie right away.
