XBMC4Xbox

Hey guys, I've got some more obscure items in my collection, as well as a surprising number of TV Programs and Movies which share names with others.

It took me a lot of headaches scraping all the information for my collection, but I finally did so, and have all the appropriate fanart, banners, posters, and most importantly, the CORRECT show information. All of this works perfect with my Windows install of XBMC.

I recently dusted off my original Xbox, and after some headaches caused by my router, managed to set up the SMB share correctly. But it seems that XBMC4Xbox wants to scrape the show info from the Net, instead of the nfo files I laboriously put together. It's a real pain. So my question is, whether I can direct XBMC4Xbox to read info from the nfo files, rather than scraping the (mostly WRONG) information from the net? This'd be a huge help.

I've tried finding info on doing this, but with all the info out for regular XBMC, it's kinda hard to tell what's applicable, and I've even come across conflicting info. Any assistant would be appreciated.

If you can give us a DEBUG log (need to activate Debug more before scraping) and then scrape one of the files, so we can see what's going on there.

i just point my xbox to the files and turn on the scraper and turn of scrape actor thumbs and it does not even need the net to scrape.

i have my files named as follows on my server in a folder:
some name.tbn
some name.nfo
some name.avi

of note the nfo files have to have xbmc compliant tags and be pre frodo i believe if they are scraped on the pc originally using frodo or above they wont import i believe.

I use media companion to make the files and it does a bang up job but you have to make sure you dont tick the box in the settings to be frodo or something to that nature.
