Okay, I'm using the following naming convention for movies with extras:

Batman [SET Batman-1]
Batman_Extras 1 [SET Batman-2]
Batman_Extras 2 [SET Batman-3]

And this has the effect of one "Batman" movie showing in my main movie page(s), and when I click on it, I get three "Batman" movies listed.

The problem is, the three all have the same cover, and have the same name "Batman", so other than knowing the first one is the movie, there's no way to distinguish them.

Further, I'd (eventually) like to give the extras specific names and descriptions as well, perhaps even a different image/cover.

I was thinking that NFO files would be the way to do this, but I can't figure out how to do an NFO file when using a SET.

Any ideas on the right approach for giving the Extras unique name/descriptions/images? Or if I should be doing extras in a completely different way (other than SET)?

Thanks!

You can do what I did with my Alternate Endings issue.

Name it

Batman
Batman[Trailer-Extras1]
Batman[Trailer-Extras2]

Run yamj, then go to your jukebox folder, search for the Batman.html file and edit it to remove the word Trailer. Its the only file you need to edit. Then thats it. Just save the file and refresh the page on your player.

You will see the two files where the trailers would normally be.

easy..

1. download the cover you want and rename it exactly like the movie except for the extension. Do this for all 3 movies.

2. Create nfo files for all 3 movies. Include the title, id and set tags. You can call the movie anything you want, point it back to imdb for all other details and combine the 3 movies under a single set.

You'll find the skinny on sets here and review the XBMC NFO movie xml details here

Personally I use the the format below. Just it only allows the use of one image and it creates a play all link which you may not want.

MovieName.[PART1] - MovieName.avi
MovieName.[PART2] - Extras.avi

No its probably because you are using word to edit the file. Word can mess up the html.

go to coffecup.com and grab the free html editor that should work good for you.

Or just edit in notepad. This is an easy text edit to make.

With three trailers you dont need to make any edits at all.

Just name it like this:

Ice Age
Ice Age[TRAILER-1]
Ice Age[TRAILER-2]
Ice Age[TRAILER-3]

Run YAMJ. Then when you go to the move Ice Age you will see

TRAILER-1
TRAILER-2
TRAILER-3

Which is fine for trailers. I was editing the html file to remove the word trailer for things like deleted scenes, extras, et.

For that you edit the main html for the movie example Ice Age.html dont worry about any other html files for the trailers. Then in the ice age.html find

</a>TRAILER-1</div> and change only TRAILER-1 to the text you want. The link itself will still point to the ice age[trailer-1] file. You are only changing the text link name nothing else.

Ok thanks crombiecrunch

It would be perfect if they also keyed off [Extras-*] to do the exact same thing. Would save a bunch of time on editing HTML files.

crombiecrunch · 07-13-2009, 02:57 AM

Yup I am hoping it might make its way in somewhere Smile
