using xmbc for many years to organize my movies.
without xbmc all my 1000+++ movies will be a bunch of mess.
i scrapped all the movie info from imdb, can search movie my rating, years, sets, & etc.
Is a definite must have for every movie geek.





on a previous version of XBMC i need to edit playercorefactory.xml to play 3d movie by using external player, but latest xbmc support stereoscopic playback

some intro for those who are new to XBMC.

Organize all 2000++ movie with XBMC and scraped all data from IMDB.



can also search by collection (ie: 007 collection, fast & furious collection)



Sort movie by IMDB rating. Dunno what to watch? just start from the highest rating one.


Search By Actor.


Search By Genre.


XBMC 13 and above will have build in support for 3d video playback.
Many playback mode to choose from. Here is red-cyan mode ( need red-cyan 3d glasses to watch)


the best way to run XBMC is PC/desktop computer...from what i understand rasberry Pi and android doesnt for 3d playback.
owned 2 android tv dongle but all suffer from 1080 video ( frames drop). have to use external player like MX player to play 1080 video by edit the playercorefactory.xml files.

Raspberry Pi is a great device and cheap for xbmc.
only issue is when u have thousand if movies, it will take forever to load.

for those who looking for device that run xbmc with no problem, mini desktop pc will be the best option. ie:Acer Revo L

there are few movie scraping software outside...the one im using is MediaElch ( in case xbmc didnt scrape movie info property).
MediaElch will scrape movie info and save in to movie folder.

xbmc scraping is still the best and the most automated one.
just add movie folder, set which scraper to use, and let it run.

to be safe, just export video info to its individual folder.
by doing so i can bring my HD to any pc and play with xbmc without rescraping the movie info.
all 2000++ info will be there wherever i go.

i use MXplayer as my player.

 playercorefactory.txt ( 1.72k ) Number of downloads: 68

rename it to playercorefactory.xml
and paste it into location Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/

when u want to play media files, press "C" to bring out the menu and select "play using"

*different android device might have different configuration, so try see this work for u.

should have way to bring up contextual menu.
dunno how your tvbox work.
honestly i have no idea how to bring contextual menu up without a keyboard on android box

btw since disable the hardware accelaration (mediacodec) will solve 1080 video problem, guess editing the playercorefactory.xml is not necessary for now.
