| I like to make backups of my kids' DVDs since they seem to enjoy destroying them. Once I get it working XBMC seems like a way for me to even skip over any sort of physical object for them to destroy, and just play them on a PC over the network directly from their backup location.

| Getting XMBC to scrape properly has been an exercise in frustration. This does not seem to be ready for prime-time yet.
| |
|
| |
| Main annoyance:
| |
| * Scraping a directory containing movies, one per directory, named identically to IMDB (including parens and the year), doesn't work
| |
| ** as in the movie named by the directory exists in IMDB, but isn't scraped
| |
|
| |
| Minor annoyances
| |
| * Scraping takes a VERY long time
| |
| * No way to manually correct minor scrape errors
| |
| * backend scraping errors happen silently
| |
| * data quality issues with IMDB data
| |
| * lots of long pauses with no reason why
| |
|
| |
| Possible fixes:
| |
| * offline tool to create .nfo files to override scrapers
| |
| * query the user on ambiguous data
| |
| * allow the user to view video in question before answering
| |
| * allow the user to clear one title/directory's worth of data from the user database instead of needing to wipe the whole thing
| |
|
| |
| The problems seem too embedded for a quick fix, so XMBC may need to wait until another day for me...
