ORGANIZING YOUR MEDIA
It’s easier to manage and update. It’s easier to find things, and it’s easier for XBMC to
identify what it is looking at, and therefore easier for it to download covers and information.
Always separate your movies from your series.
You should rename each movie’s folder to its actual title if you want them to be scraped
properly later on. (It doesn’t matter what the actual AVI file is named as though)
Series folders should have the correct title as well.
I personally rename all my series episodes using a program called “theRenamer” which
automates most of the process for you. (theRenamer is included with this PDF)
The only important thing that each episode must have in the filename though, is the season
and episode number, for example 01x01, 01x02, 01x03 and so forth.
You may decide to use the S1E01, S1E02, S1E03 format - that’s okay too.
Once your media is sorted into a decent folder structure, either copy the media to your
HTPC, or simply move your hard drives into the HP ProLiant MicroServer. Your media is
now ready for scraping.
Media should be sorted into this way for best scraping results:

EXTERNAL USB HARD DRIVES
Put HD movies on internal hard drives that are connected via SATA, as they are faster than
external hard drives that connect via USB. SATA has higher transfer speeds than USB.
SD content will play perfectly fine on external USB hard drives.
