I tried looking through the wikis and did some searching I wasnt able to find what im looking for.

How do I, or you guys organize your folder structer, and then file names for movingpictures

I have blu ray rips, dvd rips, and tv shows right now everything is just showing up under videos and the blu ray stuff isnt tagged with anything HD

I have it as -

\Movies\<Movie name>\<Movie name>.avi
<Movie name>.srt
<Movie name>.jpg - this is not used by MP, I just let it store metadata in its usual folder.

\HD Movies\<Movie name>\<Movie name>.avi ...

With MP 8 you'll be able to create filters so all e.g. movies under \HD Movies\ will show up as HD. I'm not sure but I think the mediainfo.dll support will detect anything HD no matter where it is, so this may not be needed.

I got my stuff organized now, but no matter what folder structure i use (updated all media portal/moving pictures) I cant get my HD stuff to have any kind of visable HD tag, and im failing to see an option to enable it

Moving Pictures 0.7.x does not support this yet.
Release 0.8 will. So you are right you cannot enable it yet. Release 0.8 is still to be released.

    I have it as:

    Movies\Cinematic\<Genre>\<Title> (<Year>).avi
    and
    Movies\Cinematic\<Genre>\subtitles\<Title> (<Year>).srt

    Television series get parsed by MP-TVSeries and I have them as:
    Movies\Series\<Genre>\<Show Title> (<Year>)\Season <#>\<Show Title> -s<#>e<#> - <Episode Title>.ext
