Hi,
I'm a little unclear about how to get NPVR video library to display metadata and cover art for my films. I have a couple of questions:
1 - The wiki suggests that metadata can be read from a [filename].xml file, or from mymovies.xml. Can the mymovies.xml file contain data about more than one film by referencing the filename somehow, or is this only useful for folders with 1 file in them?
2 - I see that the simplest way to get coverart and metadata is to have one xml file and one image file for each video file. I have one folder with hundreds of films in and adding 2 more files for each one into this folder seems very messy to me. Is there any way to have NPVR look for the data in another location? This could be a subfolder of the video folder, or another location entirely.
