I'm trying to do something that seems like it should be easy. I have an existing library that is configured for WMC (mymovies.xml, folder.jpg, backdrop.jpg etc...). Every movie is contained within its own directory. All I'm wanting to do is copy the existing metadata and artwork to a format XBMC will understand. That way I can use the same library for XBMC on a PC that does not have WMC.

You mention that XBNE can keep WMC and XBMC in sync. But I'm having trouble figuring out the steps to do that.

XBNE can read the file mymovie.xml even if it is configured to work with XBMC. But if it is configured for XBMC, it will save in XBMC format. I can watch for it saves both format ...

So I can leave it setup for XBMC and have it scan my existing library and it should pull in the mymovies.xml information without scraping? Then when I save it will save that information to movie.nfo?

What about artwork? Will it pick up folder.jpg in XMBC mode and save it to movie.tbn? This isn't as critical because I have already created a bash script that copies folder.jpg (or folder.png) to movie.tbn. But it would be nice to handle it all at once.

Thanks for a great tool! I can't believe how responsive you've been with updates and requests.

You are welcome...

sounds simple enough. I just can't figure out how to make it happen. Can't really tell what things do.

This was very informative to me.

Why is it 100 MB large?

It is a great program ;-)
There is also the image of genres, studio, resolutions ...
I'm looking for a separate download ...
