ok I think I have accomplished what you were looking for. I added logic to look for a portable version under LaunchBoxFolder\Emulators\Kodi then The LaunchBoxDriveLetter:\Kodi the AppData\Roaming\Kodi I also fixed some bugs with file locations and added some details to the games menu item like release date and description.

yes it will check the roaming folder. i would assume it would work with all version but im just not 100% sure about how the store data. if its in the same structure it will be fine.

I have the same feelings as you. thats why im building some importand scraping plugins. i havent attempted music yet but ot is next on my list. i must just figure out how to add the music. i was thinking of adding an artist as a game and each song as an alternative version. or the other option would be to add Artist - Album as the gamename and each song as alternative version.

hey Guys, I just released an update. it is now much less API Intensive and the Gui is working now, plus a few minor tweaks.

nope i could write a theoretical list but every operating system is different and what works for me may not work for someone else. for instance my tablet is 64bit so I dont get the same retroarch cores as my cellphone.

yes that is correct. that list is replacement commands. so if a platform is not working you would change the command in this file. there is some logic to try and use Launchbox commands on android so sometime the platform is not in the xml but it will still work. the logic first tries to get the command from the xml if it fails it will use its own logic to convert the launchbox commands.

sorry my mistake for the one platform the <Platform> was opened twice without the </Platform> to say that the entry was ended. I will do a update tonight in the mean time you can replace the androidcom.xml in /Internal Memory/Android/Data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.bigbox/resources/androidcom.xml androidcom.xml

I have updated the plugin. it will now download artwork from moviedb as well as fanart.tv, this will fix the issue you where facing. thanks for the report.

this is because Imbd has artwork but Fanart.tv doesnt. the preview is comming from imdbs listing and not fanart.tv I will code in the image collection for imdb. as for the safe naming conversions this issue should be fixed @neil9000 can you please confirm this is still an issue? sorry I meant so say moviesdb the script only uses the imdbid to scan fanart.tv

thanks for the link, I already tried this but it wasn't working for me. hence the reason I created this plugin.

yes this is true, I already had a moviesdb api and all that is needs to do is find the information, all the artwork comes from fanart.tv which is what everyone is using. as long as themoviesdb finds the tvshow it will pass a tvdbid which is used for fanart.tv. i may add more providers in the future is need be but for the time being themoviesdb does a good enough job and I know how there api works. thanks for the advise though. no problem dude. sorry to hear about your hard drive.

Import Tv Shows View File Imports TV Shows and Grabs the Information and Artwork this Plugin uses the Fanart.TV Api and themoviedb Api to scrape images and details. Go to tools click import Tv Shows select the folder that contains all your tvshows. you may need to hit f5 to refresh the images. Folder Structure is Vital your collection needs to be sorted as follows. FolderContainingTvShows/TVShow/Episodes or Season Folders. example C:\Users\andre\Desktop\TV Shows\Arrow\Arrow.S05E23.HDTV.x264-SVA\Arrow.S05E23.HDTV.x264-SVA.mkv C:\Users\andre\Desktop\TV Shows\Arrow\Arrow.S05E22.HDTV.x264-SVA.mkv C:\Users\andre\Desktop\TV Shows\Arrow\Season 5\Arrow.S05E21.HDTV.x264-SVA.mkv C:\Users\andre\Desktop\TV Shows\The Flash\S01E01 - Pilot.mp4 C:\Users\andre\Desktop\TV Shows\The Flash\Season 1\S01E02 - Next Episode.mp4 This creates a Game with the Same name as the folder. all videos inside that folder are added as additional applications. so right clicking on a TV Show will give you a list of all episodes. this only scans for mp4, mkv and avi I can always add formats this is just so we dont pick up image files and nfo files. There will most likely be some bugs but they will never get ironed out unless I know about them so please dont feel shy posting your bugs. @neil9000 @donarumo @lordmonkus thanks for your suggestions and support in my previous plugin this one was created just for you guys.

New Version, # File name fix # added disc art

woops this is what I get for not doing proper testing. I think I need to reset the variables to null, give me a sec I will try fix this and also implement file names.

Yes this is definitely possible, this was a thought when I was updating the plugin but for some reason I skipped over it. I will put this in the next release

I have just updated the plugin again, I did not include all the files. thanks @neil9000 for being my guinea pig. # Fixed Api error # Added preview image to help you select the appropriate movie. # added an Icon(I used a Kaula thanks @WoodHawker)

thank you for the feedback. looks like I re uploaded the old version by accident. i uploaded the correct version now. thank you for pointing this out.

I found there to be issues with the api and with creating directories. these issues have been fixed and I have uploaded a new version.
