Hi All.

So been using XBMC Eden build for awhile.
Working nicely, BUT I have just got some anime.

Can someone tell me the best way to add this to XBMC?
How should I add it?
I know there are Anime Scrapers around, which is best?
How do I use them?

Sorry total nub when it comes to this, so looking for some good help

Also do you know of an external scraper, something like Ember Media Manager that I use for movies but for Anime?

Well, thetvdb.com scraper works pretty good for most anime I have but there's also a scraper for anidb if you want to try that.

anidb.net scraper by far.

if you want to separate TV shows and animes, create playlists under videos ---> files by 'contains' directory.

Organise your animes: e.g. Naruto/Season1/Naruto S01e200

Takes a while, goodle anime renamer and a nice windows app comes up which quickens the process considerably using the "replace x with x' features and quick anime renamer also has a clean up feature for the jargon like [AHQ] and [494894894] on some anime downloads.

from the videos menu, click on the files button. Add your anime source, make sure the anime movies and tv shows are properly arranged and named. Select any scraper ffrom Settings - Addons- get addons - Xbmc. org addons - movie information select animedb.net /ANN for animes or TVDB(default tv scraper, no need to install) or TMDB (default movie scraper).

You can refer to the follwing wiki:

Yip so I have Movies and TV Shows as seperate shares.
I will make Anime a seperate shared folder too...

In video I have Movies, and TV Shows so I'll just add a 3rd called Anime?

That should do the trick hey?

I just created a separate folder for my anime and added it as a new source (so I can easliy switch the scraper for all my anime if I want). Plus they're on another disk anyway.

Does that not mean it will use the same tv shortcut in the skin?
