I've recently rebuilt my xbmc's and cleaned up my library so that every movie/tv show is properly scraping. It's amazing how many different variations of names I was using. I'm now very diligent about looking in imdb to get my file names just right.
Anyway. I'm going to implement a MySQL database so I can synch the watched flag as well as pause/resume across my xbmc's. I know that one of the steps was to do an export before putting the advancedsettings.xml file in place. My question is this:
When doing an export do I need to take those options to export the thumbs and other stuff or can I skip those? I have been in the habit of exporting everything and as you probably know it puts lots of files in addition to the .nfo file. Lots of gif's, a .actors directory, banner files etc. In order for the sql piece to work can I just generate the .nfo files? Sure would keep things a bit cleaner.
Thanks,
Roveer
