I just purchased the LOTR Extended Edition and I am planning to rip everything to MKV format. Looking for suggestions for organizing them. Typically before I do that for any movie I check the moviedb website to make sure the tag data is present. I couldn't find one for the extended edition.

Any suggestions?

After you scrape it in, go to the movie from within library mode and bring up the context menu and you can edit the title to indicate its the extended version.

If if is a two part movie you can try this http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=File_stacking. Your other option would be to find a program that will combine both mkv files into a singe file. There is a program that will do that but I do not remember the name of it right now.

Join them together first by using vobblanker. Then convert.

TMDb won't allow you to add extended versions. They treat all versions the same

Indeed, tmdb doesnt make distinctions and therefore filenames with extended wont get scraped, in that case do -- what gabbot said...

I used a mix of features: set+nfo+discs

nfo/set for manually scrapper
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=NFO_files

"dvd.disc" (Media stubs) for say that is external disc
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Media_stubs

NFO example for Spanish DVD:

Code:
<movie>

    <title>El Señor de los Anillos: El Retorno del Rey (Versión Extendida)</title>

    <originaltitle>The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Extended Edition)</originaltitle>

    <runtime>251</runtime>

    <set>LOTR Trilogy (Extended Edition)</set>

    <sorttitle>LOTR3</sorttitle>

    <fileinfo>

        <streamdetails>

            <video>

                <codec>mpeg2</codec>

                <aspect>2.35</aspect>

                <width>720</width>

                <height>576</height>

            </video>

            <audio>

                <codec>dts</codec>

                <language>spa</language>

                <channels>6</channels>

            </audio>

        </streamdetails>

    </fileinfo>

</movie>

I only put the personalized title, and info from DVD (DTS, aspect ratio,...) the rest is taken from scrappers (manual update the movie and NOT ignore the nfo when it)
