[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 917921, member: 18896"] There are two ways of NFO usage. Simple method -> only looks for a "tt(7-digits)" number, which matches the IMDb website ID system, ie: [B][url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499549/[/url][/B] [INDENT=1]For the 'scene' alike NFO files this would be the way to go as they are not in the XBMC NFO format with XML syntax. This method is also enabled by default, but to control it open MovPic config -> "Importer Settings" tab -> "scan movie folder for info files with the following extensions". The "Force...." below it would always accept that tt-ID then, though most scraper-scripts will do that anyway if the tt-ID is a valid one.[/INDENT] XBMC NFO method -> you actually have to adjust the scraper-script order to place the XBMC scraper at the top, otherwise it gets never used (unless all the other scrapers fail to find a match). [INDENT=1]So to enable this, you have to ensure that the NFO files you have follow the XBMC NFO XML syntax structure (such as those generated by MovPicNFO or XBMC itself). MovPic config -> "Importer Settings" tab -> select 'Manually manage movie data sources.' -> use button "Movie Details Data Sources" -> enable "XBMC (Local)" and move it all the way to the top. Do the same for the cover-art and backdrop data sources if you have XBMC compatible artwork.[/INDENT] The XBMC artwork extensions are not JPG, so it looks to me like you have 'scene' alike NFO files, nothing from that can be properly used as source of information, except the tt-ID, so everything that happened for you is the correct way. But for future imports once you are happy with your library, you can use the 3rd party plugin MovPicNFO to generate XBMC compatible NFO files and then use those for a super-fast, totally off-line (re)import, which is especially handy in a stable server/client config where the server does the import and generates the XBMC data after which the clients only use the XBMC scraper to import (preventing any database corruption from sharing, etc). You then use Follw.it or Trakt methods to sync any watched flags across multiple systems (or keep them seperate in a multi-user environment). Hope that clears it all up for ya :) [/QUOTE]
