Hi, I'm a HTPC neophyte, and in trying to get my system set up, I've run into some speedbumps...
I'm trying to archive my blu ray collection onto my NAS, and am using MakeMKV to rip them to my Synology DS411+ server. I rip them into a folder, for example, K:\Movies\<whatever movie>\ and I get a list of several MKV files.
I have no trouble playing the movies back on XBMC (via selecting the entire folder on playback), but I can't understand/get how to display metdata/movie posters/cast etc... via the XBMC video browser. When I enabled the XBMC scraper, it'll erroneously pull various poster art/info from each actual MKV file...
After trying to do some research, I just get more and more confused. So basically, I need help in figuring out how to archive movie MKV files so that I can browse via XBMC in a cool way, like how everyone else is doing it...
(I've also tried Media Center Master, and can't get it to work with XBMC either)...
My system below:
Intel i7 920
8 gb ram
Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 video card
32gb SSD
500gb HDD
XBMC latest build
MPC Classic
Synology DS411+
thanks for helping a total newb out!
