Using it. Loving it.

I like this program cause it can organize and play my videos quite well.

3 diff view that i like

Just to share how I organize my movie folder.

I prefer to have my own selected thumbnails and fanart. This is my settings, XBMC seems to display out nicely without much need to go online

Folder Name: 300 (2006)

300 (2006).mkv
-Movie file

300 (2006).nfo
-1 single line which is pointing to the movie in IMDB.com
-By having this, XBMC will lookup IMDB accurately
-Example: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416449/

300 (2006).tbn
-Thumbnail for the MKV file
-Can search and download from: http://www.themoviedb.org/
-To create .tbn file, just rename .jpg to .tbn. This file can be same as Folder.jpg

Folder.jpg
-Thumbnail for the Folder
-Can search and download from: http://www.themoviedb.org/

Fanart.jpg
-Fanart for the backdrop. Size must be 1920x1080 or 1280x760
-Can search and download from: http://www.themoviedb.org/

My Scan for New Content settings at the up most movie folder. I have unchecked to download posters, thumbnail and fanart...

XBMC 9.11: Beta2 ready for testing
http://xbmc.org/team-xbmc/2009/12/09/xbmc-...dy-for-testing/

Development for Camelot is winding down, and we have a new beta for all brave users to try. We have closed just under 200 bugs since the last beta (to be fair, some of those were translations and other small patches). That is an impressive number, thanks to all who have reported their issues. As we are feature frozen, nothing new has been added this time around, we’re purely focusing on fixing bugs.

As always, head on over to the download page for the latest and greatest. The Ubuntu PPAs will be updated soon. Give it a go, and be sure to submit quality bug reports if you have any issues. Also, please keep great the translations coming!

Finally out of Beta before Christmas
