Questions on meta data, scraping and how it all works (from an ex XBMC user)

I didnt have any of those issues for the most part. I do though find that a small handful of the videos i processed do not show any data or thumbnails. I looked in the folder and the thumb and xml is there but it is a no show on the media player. I believe the smp is a little buggy in this area. This issue only shows on about 2 or 3 % of the files i processed. Maybe rebuilding would fix them.

One problem i do have unrelated to the software is my folder.jpg wont stick on all the time. Some of my folder thumbs will revert to a thumb of a video inside a that folder.

I saw that the folder thumb issue is a known problem with firmware 1.05.xxx…  It wasn’t the case with 1.04.xxxx and does not look like it was fixed with 1.06.xxx…

The problem i have is that NONE of the content is appearing.  Not a single one.    I have included a sample from a TV episode…  If anyone would know why this would not appear, i am all ears!

Movies like Harry Potter with a ‘:’ in the name won’t get metadata, how to solve this?

Also movies that have 2 results, like Tangled, get no metadata.

http://www.themoviedb.org/search?search=tangled

Also the backdrop only get generated when movies are not in folders.

This:

Movies/Buried/Buried.mkv = covers but no info or backdrop

But:

Movies/Buried.mkv = covers, info and backdrop

Use a MANUAL scan.
