These sites include posters, fanart and episode thumbnails, supplied by contributors. Importing this info relies on an organised method of file/folder naming. For TV shows this can be as simple as Fringe.S04E01.mkv, which provides enough info to pull all the rest eg. http://thetvdb.com/?tab=episode&seriesid=82066&seasonid=468438&id=4120435&lid=7 -- Davidg1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Davidg1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35004 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90618 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
