No. TBH there are probably a few minor improvements that can be added, I was mainly concerned with getting a v.1 finished. Writing my tutorial as we speak, once it's up I'm sure you guys will come up with a few new tweaks I didn't think of.

Very nice work mate.
I am usually not interested in bonuses in DVDs or BluRays but what you did there make me feel like doing the same.

Two questions :

1 - would it be possible to give a few more details of the organisation of the folders and files, maybe with screenshots from the folders as organised in Windows Explorer for example.
I think it would help a lot.

2 - is it possible to have that king of organisation for the movies of one saga like Alien for example as I own those movies but haven't extracted the bonuses yet ?

Thanks

1 - As requested, a few screen grabs from explorer:

Show Level:




Season Level:



Episode Level:



2 - Very possible, although the 'Show' logo will be seen throughout at episode level (see second pic below). Haven't found a way to get season logos.......yet!

Show Level:



Season Level:



Episode Level:



Don't forget to link your movies to your shows, then (as you can see above) the movies will appear alongside your extras at season level. Hope this helps you out, don't forget to post some screens of your finished work. Any more questions, just ask.

thankyou very much

No problem Same goes for you, please post screenshots when you're done

Many thanks for the screenshots, it helps a lot in understanding.
Extra question : with this procedure you make XBMC thinks that Alien, Aliens, Alien3 and Alien Resurections are 4 seasons (with one episode which is the movie itself and others that are bonuses for each film) of the "Alien" show.
For my #2 question, I can have the very same organisation as you do, renaming Alien.mkv to s01e01 - Alien.mkv and have this file in the Season 1 folder and so one for the 3 other movies of the saga ?
Am I right ?

So here is a question : is it possible to have Alien movies also displayed in the movies menu of XBMC ?
nfo files for movies and episodes are quite different aren't they ?
Saying that diffently : can a video file be considered by XBMC both as a movie and as a TVShow episode without duplicating big video files ?
