Using "My Movies" movie collection management software as source for movie meta data?

Any info on this?

nugentgl Wrote:althekiller - so how does it work? Will XBMC automatically use the mymovies.xml file if it is located in the folder that houses the movie or do I need to configure something somewhere? BTW - I am using the latest SVN 16215 (courtesy of ikons) so it should have this patch.

I too am a convert from VMC to XBMC with hundreds of movies already setup using My Movies.

So if I'm using XBMC for the Mac how do I get this to work. Do I install these files somewhere or copy them somewhere. Please provide instructions.

Thanks.

XBMC will pickup the mymovies.xml istead of the nfo file which it did before. Ofcourse if you have no mymovies.xml it will use the nfo as normally.

i assume you will follow up and deliver patches for trailers and the other stuff that was missing?

What files do I need and where do I put them to get this to work? I have the latest version of XBMC for the Mac and it doesn't pick these .xml files up.

Can we get instructions on what to do here please.

mymovies.xml in the same folder as the movie.

AND latest xbmc for mac certainly does not contain it. unless you built from svn saturday+

spiff, trailers are not really used. I talked to Brian from mymovie while I implemented the feature because I wanted to support them too. That's why it's left out.
Don't remember anything else missing?
