Suggestions for handling Exercise Videos in XBMC

Right. And I did and preferred them under the TV listings instead of the Movies. But IMO, you should still have an nfo file for each movie you have as well. It definitely helps if you ever need to rescrape. For me, I lost my all my data and have to rebuild.

I don't want the P90X vids within movies as there are some 10 videos; that would be a lot of clutter. Would someone please tell me each step of getting this to appear in TV Shows (or something equivalent)? Maybe post your nfo as well?

now also P90X2 with covers and backdrops

I like that this and other workout videos are on themoviedb.org database but if you add these types of videos as movies and you use the library view for you movies, won't these types of videos wind up lost in the library? Is there an easy way in XBMC of keeping a separate folder for workout videos, that uses themoviedb.org but the contents of these videos are displayed in a separate type of movie library?

Didn't have time to read the whole thread so if this has been said already I appolagize... I do a lot of this custom stuff so trying to be helpful.
I get most of my fanart, etc. from google images. Then just put them in the proper folder and re-name them appropriately...
tvshowname.tbn (rename .jpg to .tbn to make them thumbnails). I think movies are 'movie.jpg' and 'fanart.jpg' but i am not at home right now to check.

Hi all. It's great that the P90X videos are in tmdb, but I am having trouble getting them to scrape properly. Currently I have X stretch labeled as "P90X - X Stretch.mp4" in the "videos" folder, which is the same naming as listed on the repo (http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/41719-p90x-x-stretch). Can anyone help me understand how to get it properly scraped? or better yet, stick it under tvshows?

Exactly. Same problem. Show exists in TVDB but doesn't recognize the actual filename for some reason. And help is greatly appreciated..


EDIT: As a test, I used ember media manager, and manually scraped the Chest and Back video. XBMC then picks up the fan art you specify. Pain in the arse.. but it works.

I created a smart playlist with all my Insanity (P90x) videos. You can pick either tv shows or movies (both worked but movies seemed to be easier) after I had the playlist I had to refresh each individual video. But in the end my Insanity looks great.

Although that is the correct name, themoviedb does not find it when you search for 'P90X - X Stretch' on the site itself.
Weirdly enough I could find it when it was named 'X stretch 2007'.

What you could do is create a custom nfo file as explained here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=NFO...ning_a_URL

You should name it the same as the movie and just add the url for the page to it. The TMDB scraper should pick it up.
