Need to pull apart what nostra has done now and try and figure out how it works. (nearfile) so I can save images to same directory. I was waiting for Nostra to do some fixes. havn't worked on it for while so not sure where i am up to. Even if they have, you'll need to know how to revise your template anyway-so you can handle your custom fields and personal preferences. Considering how "open" XBMC is, I'm surprised someone hasn't done this already. If you share your efforts here, you may find there are other XBMC users who will pitch in to help. I'm not sure, but it may just require a few lines in the same template. I expect XBMC will find these and build it's thumbnails from them. Posters can also be exported "beside" the video file.

It helps if you're good at compulsive trial and error. Although I don't expect you'll find it easy, the process of editing and troubleshooting an export template is "dead simple." Just edit the template and try an export. Although the documentation is rather thin, you can find out what you need to know by searching the forum. A sample XML template is provided as a starting point. As nostra says, you don't need a script to create the NFO files-just a plain text export template to define the required format. At a glance, it seems it's documentation outlines exactly what you need. From my experience, however, I can tell you the best solution is to export everything to NFO so XBMC can import it (I imagine it does so automatically, if the files are present). And I don't use XBMC, so I'm not going to attempt to give you specific guidance. I'm pretty much useless at anything resembling "programming" too. I know this might be asking a lot but if you can I would really appreciate some help! I have also been on XBMC forum but can't find the info I need. I really do prefer PVD to EMM's overbusy interface with no interlink between plot keywords, but I also really need to use XBMC so this is the only solutions I came up with. Is this feasable? What is the best way to generate such an xml file, readable by EMM ? (I guess I should also ask on EMM's forum) Since I am useless at writing XML templates, I am thinking of finding a way to export in an xml file the following info from PVD (the crucial info I really do not want to loose): So I'm now considering doing PVD -> EMM -> XBMC. In its last updates, it has the ability to generate.

In the past I was using Extreme Movie Manager to manage my collection and my subscription to that software is still on, so I can use it. nfo file structure for xbmc can be found here: Ĭan you tell if such a feature is in the pipeline by any chance, and that it is worth waiting for it to appear in a future update? (really I am not asking for this as I know there are a lot of other things to take care of, but I might be in luck?)Ģ. At the moment I do not think PVD has this feature, and I am not even sure if it can generate. nfo file next to each movie file, in the format accepted by XBMC. From what I have read, a nice way would be to have PVD create a.

Thanks for your help in advance.Īlso before I list my "solutions" I'd like to point that I am clueless and useless at coding and scripting so I am not contemplating writing scripts unless someone tells me it's dead simple of course!ġ. I'd like you to help me find the best one or if you think of others, to advise. I have read all posts about the subject on PVD's forum as well as XBMC one. My question you guessed it again is about the transfer process. Parallel to that I would like to find the best way to use XBMC to view PVD's info in their beautiful interface. I have now finally built my HTPC and I am copying over HDD all my burned avi's.
