Dear Sir: Some of my following comments have been mentioned before, but... I hope you find this helpful. I include your statement's in "quotes " so you can see what I am referring too.
page 18: "Ok. We now have given XBMC a media source. It knows we have media files in a folder, but what is in there? This screen lets us tell XBMC what kind of files are in the folder we just added."
NOTE: You need to tell the beginner how to get to this screen first!
Right mouse click on your movies name and select SET CONTENT from the sub menu, or use the context key "C" from your keyboard
page 19: "(End of Page/final paragraph)" At this point you may wish to tell people how to view the Library mode. (move mouse to left of screen to pop up the mode menu etc)Also they need to know that to add new movies and manually scrape them they need to exit/disable Library mode to get back to the default movies mode of XBMC (the one they have been using so far) Or just say something like please refer to page 27 and page 30 in this manual.
page 23: "Next thing is selecting the content."
NOTE: Once again, they are beginners, Don't forget to tell them how to get this menu open. "C" key,or right mouse click.
NOTE: In your TV section you may wish to make a meantion that TV series names must be written in a logical manner so that the scraper can find the information for each episode. I tore my hair out trying to get scrape to work on various series until I renamed their episodes into a logical manner. You could just say refer to advanced manual if you are having problem scraping Tv series.
For your own knowledge I found the following series names work well for scraping.
Babylon 5 S03E09 - Point of No Return (meaning season3 episode9 for example)
Crusade.1x01_war_Zone
McHales Navy S1E01
S01E01 - The Greatest American Hero (1)
The_Love_Boat_S1E0x1
seaquest.dsv.2x02.daggers.part.2.xvi
notice the words are seperated by . _ or spaces and the scraper does not care, it still read the names fine and scrapped the content.
THANK YOU once again for the effort
