[WINDOWS] New user needs help

Hi

I downloaded about a week agoand even though I really have a good feeling about the app I feel that all documentation is cluttered with several OS and many coders talking details straight away. Can someone give me a good read to start with as a newbie in Windows? I have tons of media (mostly film) that now all is stored in iTunes and I need to understand how to convert the file structure, all ID3 tags and art to fit XBMC.

I also have a more specific questions about scripts. I tried the bundled script for AppleMovieTrailers and the youtube one. If I click on them in the GUI I alsways get an python error that say (in this case the apple one)

Pyhton scipt failed
special://home/scripts/AppleMovieTrailers/default.py

The log say
File "C:\Users\Ägaren\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\scripts\AppleMovieTrailers\default.py", line 45, in?
import gui
importError: No module named gui

many thanks

As for the newbie guide, the Windows Specific FAQ is at http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=43129 - the library FAQ is at http://www.xbmc.org/wiki/?title=Video_Library - the TV show FAQ is at http://www.xbmc.org/wiki/?title=TV_Shows...Library%29

Besides those, Google and forum search is your friend - honestly, XBMC can FEEL complicated at the beginning but there's nothing to do it, after you've used it for a week or two it's second nature.

As for your errors - XBMC is constantly under development, bugs come and go - we need the full debug log to be able to help you.
