== Music Video nfo scraper workaround ==
The MTV scraper no longer works but you need it for scraping music video nfo files. This is the current workaround:
Find your userdata folder (see http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Profile_Directory), open the Database folder and move or rename Addons.db. Start XBMC and you should get a prompt to disable the MTV scraper. Answer "No". The MTV scraper won't do anything useful, but this should make your .nfo files work.

As of SVN build 10279 date 2007-09-18, XBMC added the ability to include Music Videos in the Video and Music Libraries. All scanned music videos will show up in both. Music Videos can also be part of Party Mode and Smart Playlists. Playlists containing both music and music videos should be stored in the mixed playlist subfolder under The UserData Folder.

Music Videos Support in XBMC

Music Videos support is through a new content type. Currently you can choose between a MTV scraper or a provided nfo file containing information on the music video. Failing that it will use the filename as a basis for the database entry (Artistname - Songname).

For further information on Music video nfo files please look here:
