For those of you who have been using XBMC, the library feature is amazing. Basically you right click on your source, define its content (whether it is a movie, music, tv shows and so on) and it will search respective sites (such as imdb for movies) for the album cover art, episode infos, etc automatically. So wait till it finish and you have an awesome library. That way when people see what you've been up to, they can see the episode infos. Since most episodes are sorted as SXXEXX (s=season e=episode) this would be a tedious work using the current system where i have to do it one by one...

Also why isn't videos seperated to tv shows and movies?

hi davidw89

currently you can filter your videos (Video >Options>Filter) by movies/Tvshow /HD/Genre(action/adventure etc).

In future versions videos this option of separate Tvshows /Movies folders will be available.

Hi there, that's not exactly the point. Filtering by genre or tv shows/movies etc is pointless if you don't search the files on your local drives/network and tag them by episodes/tv shows/movies/thumbnail etc. Not sure if this is legal or not but XBMC does a fine job doing this.
