Each movie has it's own folder and a .nfo file for the IMDB link. These NFO files were created using a program I wrote to scrape the file name and use google to search for the IMDB link. Took about 10 seconds for all 320 movies. This is MUCH more accurate then the XBMC scraper in my experience.

Pretty cool. Care to explain your script in detail? You can PM me if you'd like.

Really, you find it more accurate? So far I've only run into ONE issue and that was because years for a movie on IMDB and TMDB didn't match up...

The person I quoted found it more accurate, that's part of the reason why I requested more info Wink

I have virtually the same UnRAID setup except 3 more HD's (tried some Hitachi drives to mix it up). Haven't messed with Airvideo.

Do you use the HD Homerun for PVR and if so do you automate adding recorded shows to the UnRAID and how?

Definitely look into Airvideo. It's a pretty simply install and setup using the package manager in Unmenu.

I use the HD Homerun's (1 tuner each - got them for a great deal when the dual tuner versions came out) for live TV/PVR in Windows Media Center on a Windows 7/XBMC machine and for live tv on an openelec machine. They've worked without a hitch.

I also wanted to automate adding the recorded shows to the Unraid. For a while I used MCE Buddy to convert the .wtv files generated by WMC to .ms-dvr (XBMC can play)files then it automatically saves them to the Unraid server in a single "dump" location. I then had to had to rename and move them into my TV folder hierarchy. The main reason I wanted to do this was to be able to watch shows I recorded with WMC on my openelec box. The renaming and moving became to much of a hassle though and MCE Buddy didn't work flawlessy for me. This is a very recent hobby for me so I don't have much experience and suspect that there are much better solutions.

I want to try the Windows PVR branch of XBMC but haven't had the time to research/learn everything that is involved yet.

Suggestions or advice is definitely welcome!

This is my little setup, I live in base housing in japan so there is kinda a limit of what I can do as far as running wires and permanently mounting stuff and all that fun things!!

Equipment:

Samsung HL67A750 67" DLP
Onkyo TX-SR607 7.2-Channel Receiver
Sub 1: Yamaha YST-RSW300
Sub 2: Yamaha YST-RSW315
Rears: 2X Yamaha NS-F210
Fronts: 2X Yamaha NS-333
Center: Yamaha NS-C444
Acer Aspire Revo AR1600-U910H with upgraded ram & 16 Gig SSD Running XBMC
Acer Easystore server with 6.5 TB of space (I currently have 1,090 Movies and 6,994 episodes of shows on it)
Bluray/dvd player is my PS3
Xbox 360 slim for gaming
Turtle Beach X41s (for when I have to be quite)
Wii (hacked to run the games off an External HDD)
the seating is kind of limited to how the room is shaped and what they have here on base at the furniture store.
Oh and I threw in a picture of my Bar top arcade that I'm working on. It's not perfect but hey... it works and I can play nonstop TMNTs!!!

I've got 3 Apple TV 2's upstairs in each bedroom that all run down to the server... but I don't think there setups are anything cool or anything. Hope you enjoy.
