nfo tbn behaviour suspect?

[vskatusa]

Hi,

Per the docs (http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=Import_-_Export_Library#Video_nfo_Files) the scans should pick up the nfo and tbn files but it does not.

Here is my structure:

/movie1 (2002)/AUDIO_TS/..
/movie1 (2002)/VIDEO_TS/..
/movie1 (2002)/movie1.nfo
/movie1 (2002)/movie1.tbn

When I scan the above folder, the movie1.nfo and movie1.tbn is not being picked up!

Have I understood the procedure right?

If your using a newer svn builds, movie.nfo and movie.tbn ... the movie.nfo needs to be in the VIDEO_TS folder

For all builds, put movie1.nfo and movie1.tbn into the VIDEO_TS folder and it should pick up on them (note movie1 is your example, while movie.tbn and movie.nfo are default names)

These files are only used if the movie isn't already in the DB. Meaning, if the movie has already been there before you added the pictures, XBMC scraped them from various sites (if selected) an takes them. Then you have to exchange these files (after discovering them), which isn't quite eays since the filenames are randomly generated. :-(

At least thats the only way I have found out. (I tried to change a scraped movie thumb with one I manually downloaded from the web.)

Please correct me if I'm wrong... :;):

To change the thumbnail you could easily place the newly downloaded image in the movie folder and select "Get Thumb" from the VideoInfo dialog. It's just the same for fanart images.

Oh, that's good to know! I'll try that the next time. Thanks in advance!

Is it the same for folder.jpgs in the Music section? In older realeases I had the problem, that newer folder.jpgs weren't used until I deleted the whole music-thumbs directory from my profile.

For all builds, put movie1.nfo and movie1.tbn into the VIDEO_TS folder and it should pick up on them (note movie1 is your example, while movie.tbn and movie.nfo are default names)

I have tested with the following configuration (Please note that all the examples below contain VIDEO_TS & AUDIO_TS folders):

TEST1
------
/MyMovie1/VIDEO_TS/movie.tbn
/MyMovie1/VIDEO_TS/movie.nfo

RESULT
The movie.nfo is picked up, movie.tbn thumbnail is not shown

TEST 2
-------
/MyMovie1/movie.tbn
/MyMovie1/movie.nfo

RESULT
None of the above is picked up. It goes to IMDB to get the info!

TEST 3
-------
/MyMovie1/VIDEO_TS/MyMovie1.tbn
/MyMovie1/VIDEO_TS/MyMovie1.nfo

MyMovie1.nfo is picked up, MyMovie1.tbn thumbnail is not shown!

TEST 4
-------
/MyMovie1/MyMovie1.tbn
/MyMovie1/MyMovie1.nfo
None of the above is picked up. It goes to IMDB to get the info!

Please note that I completed nuked the cache and library and rescanned the folder.

I am a bit confused as to how the *.tbn works?

[vskatusa]

This works!

TEST5
------
/MyMovie1/folder.jpg
/MyMovie1/VIDEO_TS/movie.nfo

I am not using LIBRARY but the regular view
