How do you get MC to add all it's information into xbmc? I've read that you just remove the source in xbmc and add it again after you've run MC. But when you add the source again which scraper option do you choose? Do you leave it as none in xbmc and then MC will automatically add the thumbs fan art and info from the NFO files?
Still trying to work all this out.

Just choose IMDB as the scraper in XBMC when you set content. XBMC will look for local nfo files first before scraping IMDB. |

When I set IMDB as the scraper and click ok it says scanning for new media content and then downloading media information. Is it downloading this info from IMDB or from my movie folder? I have NFO files setup in all my media folders? |

I find it annoying that it finds dosens of folders which are not movies
How about making some ignores? Test for name Sample, Poof, CD1, CD2, Subs, Cover, Covers, Extras etc? Here's an old script I had laying around. Maybe you can use that for inspiration? Set regEx = New RegExp regEx.Pattern = "^Sample$|^Proof$|^DVD[1-9]$|^CD[1-9]$|^DISC[\.\_-][1-9]$|^Subs$|^Cover$|^Covers$|^Extra$|^Extras$|" regEx.IgnoreCase = True regEx.Global = True I run two XBMC HTPCs (WinVistax86+Win7x86 ) with Logitech Harmony and MCE remotes in my living rooms |
