For those using Ember and having the duration issue, disable Ember from getting the runtime from imdb and the meta data from the file.
To do that i would just go to the root of my movies and watch the overall duration increment and leave it there until it stopped (you can tell if its close to being done by averaging the length of each move to 90 minutes and see if the amount of movies time 90 minutes is your overall duration.
For tv shows i would go to the all seasons of each and wait for the same.
That way XBMC will scan the file and get the information it needs. But you can still edit and customize everything else.
As others have stated no third party app creates the nfo file the same way as xmbc does, so until they do there is the above work around
