    Default Blu-ray and DVD folders naming

    All the guilds and tutorials talk about naming of .avi or .mkv files so boxee can recognize them. I don't have any of these filestypes....All my DVD and Blu-ray media are backed up in folders and inside the folders are Video_TS etc. Many of my movies especially TV shows are not recognized by boxee.

    I have tried naming them using the guides so my folders are named something like these below

    Crash.(2004)
    Inception
    Seinfeld.S5.Disc4
    Seinfeld.S5.Disc3
    Lord.of.the.Rings.the.Return.of.the.King

    Can anyone tell me or point me in the right direction so boxee can recognize my media?

    Thanks again

    It does not matter if Blue Ray but rather the naming format.

    First, follow the suggestions given here:

    Second, look at how the disc is named on the IMDB.com site and follow it as well and you should get them to index better.

    Season episode discs of TV shows can be tricky.

    Inception - 2010.avi works for me
    Crash - 2004.avi works for me
    Lord of the rings - the return of the king.avi works for me too

    Sub in your.XXX for your file type. If they are folders with BD files in them, then name the folder as I did above...minus the .xxx suffix.
