Problem using VIDEO_TS.nfo file for scrapping
#1
Hi,

I have recently just started using XBMC on my iMac. The situation is that I need to manually add information about a DVD using the VIDEO_TS.nfo file. Following the instructions at http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Imp..._nfo_Files, I created a VIDEO_TS.nfo file in the VIDEO_TS directory. I am using the file list mode. When I have XBMC perform the scrap, I end up with is the VIDEO_TS directory showing up with thumb nail picture and each entry under the VIDEO_TS directory also has a thumb nail picture. Also, the movie information is attached to VIDEO_TS directory instead of the VIDEO_TS parent directory. As a sanity check, I exported the video library as separate files and used the VIDEO_TS.nfo from one of the other scrapped DVDs and modified it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Having no luck getting the manual scrape to work using http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title...ideo_nfo_Files, I decided to try http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Imp...ML_and_URL. The manual scrape still did not end up working correctly.

Here is what the top level folder looks like, notice that there is no thumb nail picture for Fantastic Four - World's Greatest Heroes, Volume 1 folder:

This is what happens when I click on the Fantastic Four - World's Greatest Heroes, Volume 1 folder:

I found the problem. For some reason the VIDEO_TS.IFO file was missing from the VIDEO_TS folder. I re-ripped the DVD.
