Hello modded XBOX game console owners!
If you use your box to watch movies (I can't imagine why you wouldn't!), you can find this script useful. Browse your AMC movie database in your XBOX Media Center! You have to export AMC database to xml file (but different format than SaveAs), ftp it to xbox and Import in XBMC into its database. You have to install the latest XBMC build (T3CH SVN rev8519, 15.04.2007 or newer).
This script is a kind of quick and dirty solution. Works prefectly for me but you know... use it on your own risk. Comes with no support or update promise. Look at the source code and customize. In particular there are no actors exported (I put Media Label instead).
Here it is: AMC_to_XBMC_xml_Export.zip - please take a look at the readme.txt inside.

Have fun!

nice work, dowiew
But, since where some months later, do you have an updated script for the conversion to xbmc ?

Hi
I use this script to export. But in my xbmc I can't see all data that is exported, id media code is important for me. At xml is the media code but... I don't see at xbmc... is there any skin at xbmc that shows this field in library mode?

Another question... it's posible to export the movie poster images and link to this info for xbmc link automatic? get imdb info for one to one is very dificult.
Thanks

you can grab the link of the poster(s), put in a field (I use fieldBorrower), and then I export the link to the <thumb> </thumb> in the nfo file.
The when xbmc read the nfo file, it will find the poster.

i modified the script to for my needs and since i only dabble in code i hit a wall.
i don't know how to copy the picture path to be a thumb in xbmc

all the pictures are stored separately in a folder

i also noticed the AMC>XBMC NFO script copies actors properly to nfo's and it would be nice to copy that piece of the script to this one too
