Ok, let me have a go at this interro...... question(s)akovia wrote:OK then...*Rubs hands together briskly*
First interrogatio...err.. question.
One of my pet peaves with XBMC is the inability to mix content for browsing or in playlists.
To be more precise, you can't make a playlist of tv-shows and movies together.
This prevents browsing by genre. So if I wanted to browse all my westerns for instance, I would have to browse westerns in both tv and movies.
This also prevents me from making a playlist of playing back a tv series that also has movies in order. Since I am an anime junkie, this really sucks. There are many series that have quite a few movies that go along with them and I would like to make a playlist that incorporates both.
Can this be accomplished in MB3?
Wonderful!! (This is a huge plus for me)Cheesegeezer wrote:Absolutely
You would create an Anime Collection, then point that collection to your various anime folders. Then set the folder type to mixed.
Alternatively you can create shortcuts in a folder to create even more custom setups without having to take up more disk space. Simply copy the folders you want to a main folder, and then select the paste shortcut option in the windows context menu(right click menu). You can then set the new folder you created with the shortcuts as a new collection within MB.
Yeah you can run this along side xbmc without it affecting your XBMC setup, they will work independently, there is also an xbmc addon which you can use also which proves MB and XBMC WORK together. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=178180 Xnappo has created this for the XBMC community and us.akovia wrote:Wonderful!!

Of course it would be symlinks in my case on Linux.
Next ..*ehem*...question
Would I be able to try this out along side XBMC without worrying about data loss?
1. Does it write/overwrite anything in the data folders?
2. Does it support nfo files already there?
3. Will it use existing art?
This kinda stuff.
Don't worry about explaining it all here if it's documented already. A link would be fine. Just want to ask the kind of questions a native XBMC user would ask if thinking of migrating. (Hope you don't mind)
Cheers
