Content Centric TV: Babylon 5 (the movies)
#1
Okay I'm forever searching for the right forum to post such questions but always come to this one and I really feel its not the right place to post but I don't have anywhere else to turn...

1st things first:

This is not a XBMC bug post, any of the hard working developers reading this, you can move on to the next thread since there's nothing buggy to see here.... Unless you happen to be a Babylon 5 fan and wanna help a comrade in need.

Okay - this is one of those how to deal with content we populate into XBMC.

Movies goes to Movies

TV goes to TV

Pretty simple.

Babylon 5 a series that went 6 seasons and in that time had 4 (or 5 if you count the pilot) "TV Movies".

"Babylon 5 A Call to Arms.VOB"
"Babylon 5 The River of Souls.VOB"
"Babylon 5 In the Begining.VOB"
"Babylon 5 The Gathering.VOB"
"Babylon 5 Thirdspace.VOB"

One of those is the Season 1 pilot so that one doesn't really count...

So, as a fellow SCIFI fan how and where are you putting these? They aren't theater released movies so I didn't want to put them there (but I think thats they only place they will be detected). I tried making a Specials folder in my Babylon 5 folder and put them there but no dice... they simply weren't recognized.

So what say you?

Have you ripped the Babylon 5 series to XBMC **AND** have the 5 TV movies? I'd sure like to know how you got them properly indexed in XBMC.

Thanks this took care of it right away....

After posting this I realized a better place for me to have put my question was to the thread where Media Info Plus (windows tool) is discussed... I got a very similar answer there.
