Hi folks,

I have some problems the way I want to present my library, more specifically for my offline dvd/blurays

Let's say I try to add my matrix bluray.

So I created a text file on my NAS location.
The Matrix (1999).txt

Renamed it to --> The Matrix (1999).disc
Scanned it with XBMC and it was recognized as valid file

Than I renamed it to --> The Matrix (1999).BLURAY.disc
Re-scanned
Result: mediaflag added to the file

Now the two problems that I have:

1) BD/DVD case not showing
I cannot get the bluray case showing
Tried it with dvd and played a dvd so xbmc could get the mediastream info, but it did not work

I tried changing *.disc extension to *.blu or *.dvd (as stated on the wiki this is supposed to be a supported and default extension)
Result: file is not recognized
Tried changing to *BLURARY.blu.disc
Result: file recognized of course but no change

On the forums somebody had a similar (problem with BD/DVD case) problem, but it was with an *.iso file
No solution...

Do I need the create a advancedsettings.xml and add .blu, .dvd to the discstubextension?
Or will this only solve the file recognition of the *.blu and *.dvd (which is supposed to be standard)?

2) Customized message
So I cannot figure out how to get a customized message

According to the wiki I need to threat the *.disc file as an xml

So I tried the following:
Create the matrix (1999).txt
Edit with the following message

<discstub>
<message>Insert Matrix Bluray with number 007</message>
</discstub>
Changed file extension to *.disc
File is recongized when scraping

When playing the file, it asks me to insert Matrix Disc but not the customized message
So I tried changing the name to *.xml
But than of course the file is not recognized anylonger

Can someone explain me in an idiot proof matter how to use the "media stubs" please, because this is really getting on my nerves

Already a big thanks for your help

Ps
for the one asking which system
tried it on my atv2, mac mini, windows 7 with same results

So today I took some time to have a further look

Gues what ... issue solved

1) Problem with BD/DVD cases

Seems to be related to the skin that is used
Tried it with Aeon MQ and covers did show up without playing the file
This means some skins don't take into account the filename in order to show the case, but rely on the playback of the file (which for offline files is impossible)

Matrix (1999).bluray.disc --> did show me the bluray cover
The Rock (1996).dvd.disc --> did show me the dvd cover

I gues the *.blu or *.dvd are not standard extensions and should be added to the advancedsetting.xml than

2) Customized message

When I copy/pasted the message from the wiki, it copied some code to (not a lot)
Result .... it did not started with <disctub> but with <xml. version 1 ...>
When deleting the extra info, it did work
