Adding videos to the library/Contents

Home icon grey.png   ▶ Video library ▶ Management ▶ Custom video entries

Need to add videos such as home movies or other videos that are not normally found by XBMC's scrapers? This page will show you a few solutions on adding custom videos, such as home movies, clips, special editions, and more.

JustUseTheFileName

To simply add videos to the library without any special info you can install the JustUseTheFileName scraper: http://up.kibje.com/20130711/metadata.justUseFilename.org.zip

NFO files

  • Add NFO files for each file. For step-by-steps look at the additional guides below.
  • Here's a basic/bare minimal example of an NFO file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <movie>
        <title>Some title</title>
        <originaltitle>Some title just in case - you most likely dont need this either</originaltitle>
        <sorttitle>It will sort by this title if you include it</sorttitle>
        <genre>HomeMovies</genre>
        <id>-1</id>
   </movie>
