What advantages do i have, if i use one folder for the movie? As the number of items are the same.

I guess it's personal preference, for me I used to test different builds of XBMC, change things around and occasionally mess things up trying different things out... It became a pain to have to rescrape everytime I did a fresh install of XBMC.

Luckily with the export / import function you don't have to rescrape each time. but I prefer to have each move exported to a seperate file rather than have one massive .nfo file. Reason for this preference is if I want to edit the details manually for any particular movie, I don't have to browse through a file containing 100's of titles.

If you were to export to seperate files with your current structure you would add .nfo files for every title, on top of that you could end up with images for every title too.. this just becomes messy when you are dealing with 100's of titles.

back on topic..

Scraper looks ok, but I was meaning the settings from the settings button which you can see in your screenshot.

I had issues with the IMDB scraper quite a while ago and as a result I don't use it... I can't recall what that was but I use themoviedb.. at least that way if anything is wrong I can go and add or edit it on themoviedb site myself.

Do you have the year added to the end of the filename for the movie that wont add automatically?

Okay. Perhaps i'll change it to folders.

I had the same problems with themoviedb scraper. I'll give it a new try.

The settings of the imdb addon:

Edit:
I just saw, if i copy a new movie into on my drive and try to update the libary, xbmc will rapitly checking tv shows. In the popup there are no information about the movie db.

here something to try...

Remove the source and clean the library

share the folder or in your case drive containing the movies and then add the shared folder as a SMB source

then try and scrape and see what result you get.
