Adding videos to the library/Contents Adding videos to the library/Naming files
In order to be scanned correctly, movie file names should only have the title and the year (optional) followed by the file extension. Media source flags can also be added via file names to indicate source/quality of the movie (see link for more info).
To improve the matching add the year within parenthesis to the end of the file or foldername, depending on your scanning method (before the extension, if filename), this naming standard seems to yield the best results.
\Movies\Pulp Fiction (1994).avi \Movies\Reservoir Dogs (1992).avi \Movies\The Usual Suspects (1995).avi
\Movies\Avatar (2009) - BluRay\Avatar (2009).mkv \Movies\The Usual Suspects (1995)\somefilename.avi
And for DVD-Video movies stored in file-mode on the harddrive or SMB NFS:
\Movies\Alien (1979)\VIDEO_TS.IFO \Movies\Léon (1994)\VIDEO_TS.IFO \Movies\Scarface (1983)\VIDEO_TS.IFO
