I have all my movies in separate folders and <movie>.nfo works for me. Plus it makes searching a little easier. I'm not saying everyone has <movie>.nfo and movie.nfo but I'm sure there are lots of people out there that do because they just check all the options in MIP and go. I'm guilty of doing that very thing when I first started with NFOs because I didn't have a clue what exactly I needed. lol Which is why I added the Cleaner AP... to get rid of all the junk.

drive:\HD\american history x\

-->american history x.nfo
-->american history x.tbn
-->american history x-fanart.jpg
when this is added in xbmc, it rescrapes everything anyways, and the fanart and thumb that I have chosen are not used. I suspect this is because the movie file is not in the proper format (ie moviename.mkv), but I want to leave it as is for the tags such as bluray, dts etc...
when I rename them to movie.nfo, movie.tbn and fanart.jpg, xbmc reads them appropriately. i think moviename.ext is for movies all in one folder... I have them all in separate folders.
sumofatguy Wrote:Yes that's true if all the movies are in one folder. when they are in separate folders, they can be named movie.nfo, movie.tbn and fanart.jpg.
You can uncheck "Use Folder Name for Lookups" in the settings. This will (should! lol) make the program use <movie>.ext. However, the way I have things coded now (will change tomorrow) you'll need to spend some time with the custom filters before loading your movies. After messing around with your sample movie name, I found some short-comings in the custom name filter and made an update to 014 (in the first post).
Some suggestions for after you updated based on only the file name you provided:
((?i)720p) will remove 720P and 720p
((?i)bluray) will remove BLURAY, Bluray, bluray, etc
((?i)dts) will remove DTS, dts, Dts, etc
((?i)x264) will remove x264 and X264
(\.\d{4}\.) will remove any series of 4 numbers surrounded by periods (years in your case)
(\.)[->] ) will convert all periods to spaces
Make sure they're in that order or the periods will be removed before year filter is run... and since there are no more periods, it won't find anything. I suppose you could just ditch the periods all together with (\d{4}) but if you have 4 numbers in the title of the movie it will remove those too.
Either way, it's obvious there is a demand for movie.ext support so I'll add that to the To Do list as well. And this discussion had made me realize some better/easier ways of doing a couple things. I'll have a new version out tomorrow with some changes.
