ok thanks alot guys...
manually making a NFO file didnt work for me,,,
the movie didnt get my NFO's data...
anyways, maybe i'll have better luck with XBNE!


oh and also,
is there a way to only keep the 1 thumbnail and 1 Fan art
for all my movies?

because when i check whats in this folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\eSkRo\Application Data\XBMC\userdata\Thumbnails

i see alot of un-used images in there,,,,
looks like when it scrapes, it gets everything,,,,
would take too long to delete them 1 by 1 ...
Sad



thanks

Your NFO needs to have the exact same name as your movie (ie: my movie.avi -> my movie.nfo). The content of your NFO needs to be correct as well.

1981.avi -> 1981.nfo

reload movie info after you modify/edit your nfo. xbmc doesn't know if any NEW data is added, so it has to be forced to look in the nfo (reload that particular movie info)
