Hi,

just thought of another question.

q) the coverart created by XMBC does it create multiple folders of movie titles and places coverart within the folder OR does it have a single folder with multiple folders with that contain all the art and a link to the movie file?

i.e. on my dune player i use YADIS which creates one single folder with multiple folders that contain all the pics and info etc which then link back to the movie location from the file list.

No, XBMC doesn't use any external codecs. Just make sure the video drivers are up to date.

that's great, do you get any stutter with playback? I kept getting stutter on mine.

do you have you graphics card set to multi monitor out? was thier any other setting you changed?

just thought of another question and rather than start a new thread i will post on this one.

Q) which codecs does XMBC use? and are they tweaked in anyway for better PQ?

Hi,

another Q)

Q) are scraper data interchangeable with other scrapers? i.e. can MCM data be used with Media companion?

Thanks

I've never used either one of those programs, but as long as the format is right, it doesn't matter what information is contained therein. So, if both of those programs are meant for use with XBMC, no problem. They're just xml files right?

Hi,

thanks for the reply, it dos have a .xml file called mymovies.xml and .nfo .tbn and some .jpg files

is there anyway i can clean my library/folders and remove these files as MCM started to rename my files which i did not like so i have canceled and renamed them back again but want to delete the existing contents in folders first (not the movie or subtitles files)?

Hi All,

I have used MCM to do all my movies but i do i get xmbc to display coverart with all the info?

I am using the Aeon skin but cannot see the option anywhere for scraping etc.

The easiest way, on a W7 computer anyway, is just to navigate to the folder you want to work on. In the search bar, type in mymovies.xml and it will show you a list of every file. Hit Ctrl-A and then delete. You can do the same thing basically for everything in that folder. If you wanted to delete all the artwork, type in .jpg and Ctrl-A delete. Then .tbn, etc. I clean up my folders all the time this way, takes about 5 minutes to do every video source folder.

I think when you use MCM, you have to enable it to write the artwork in an XBMC naming format.

I use EMM, it's basically built for XBMC and works perfectly.
