Help with Metadata - Ace_of_Bacardi - 2012-12-26
Not trying to hop threads but after posting this in another thread I realized that there is an official Metadata Scraper section heres my question: Thanks!

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!!
I have a couple quick questions hopefully someone could point me in the right direction.
1. I want Fan Art, Thumb Nails etc. to be displayed on my XBMC for Media Files. I have read about how to properly name them so that the scrapers can best find the info needed. HOWEVER I have tons of media streaming from my NAS and renaming them all so that the scrapers can do their job simply isnt an option. My question is:
Can I manually search sites like fanart.tv and imdb for the fanart and stuff needed then save it into some folder or something to be used for XBMC?
2. If I did manually download fanart and stuff how would I implement that? I know that scrapers do that manually but as previously stated renaming all my files so that the scrapers will work isnt going to happen.
If I am not being clear just ask and I will try to explain more. Thanks a Ton in advance!!

I think you need to use an .nfo file.
