Beginning with the nightly builds from March 29, 2011 (commit 86969939), XBMC now has support for Disc Stub files.  These are files that represent a disc and allow XBMC's library to catalogue your disc collection as well as ask for the disc when selected for playback.  By default these files have a .disc extension (modifiable via advancedsettings.xml).  In cooperation with Confluence Skin's (and possibly others) feature to search for words like DVD, Bluray, and HDDVD in the filename it is possible to create a disc stub files that will show correct media flags in the skin.  For example, if you have Finding Nemo on DVD, you could create an empty file called: "Finding Nemo (2003).dvd.disc" and add it to your library. In the XBMC libray this file will show up with the DVD media flag in the Confluence Skin and when selected you will be prompted to insert the Finding Nemo DVD.

Beginning with the nightly builds from March 29, 2011 (commit 86969939), XBMC now has support for Disc Stub files. These are files that represent a disc and allow XBMC's library to catalogue your disc collection as well as ask for the disc when selected for playback. By default these files have a .disc extension (modifiable via advancedsettings.xml). In cooperation with Confluence Skin's (and possibly others) feature to search for words like DVD, Bluray, and HDDVD in the filename it is possible to create a disc stub files that will show correct media flags in the skin. For example, if you have Finding Nemo on DVD, you could create an empty file called: "Finding Nemo (2003).dvd.disc" and add it to your library. In the XBMC libray this file will show up with the DVD media flag in the Confluence Skin and when selected you will be prompted to insert the Finding Nemo DVD.
