Hi,
I have been setting up my installation of XBMC on Windows 7 over the past few weeks. I must say I am very impressed with the application.
I do however have some questions which hopefully some of you more experienced with the tool can help with. I have researched older threads - but struggled to get a clear understanding of these items.
1) TV Posters, Banners, Covers >>> Can you store each of these seperately in XBMC so that when you switch between views - you see the appropriate logo?
2) Library Segregation >>> I can see you can use profiles - and have done for *ahem* some content .....what are your approaches for *other* content such as home videos, sport, etc? Do you use profiles, or another approach? Neither of these fit into movies or TV. I have a lot of boxing fights, etc which would be great to categorise - can then search for fights by fighter, etc, etc.
3) When XBMC scrapes covers, etc - are these stored physically on your machine - or does the xml point to the online resource? I would prefer the former in case the online resource disappears!
4) Any good guides on integrating emulators - i.e. which are the best ones to integrate, best scrapers for box art, etc?
5) Favourites >>> can they be spli between type - e.g. actor/actress, movie, TV Episode, etc?
6) Split Files >>> If you have one file (CD1) as an mpg, and another (CD2) as an avi - is there anyway for them to be flattened to one file? They show as two. Alternatively - can one video type be converted into the other?
Thanks!
