TV show compilation DVDs + finding missing backdrops & trailers

[Vectra 0]

Hi, I'm using MB3 and MB Theater and am trying to tune my setup.   A few questions:

 

1. Do I treat TV compilation DVDs like TV shows or Movies?   For example  How do I find metadata for   

      Saturday Night Live - The  Best of Steve Martin

How do I setup the folder and file structure?

 

Another example is SNL 25 years of music box set

 

 

2. how do I find missing backdrops and local trailers -  i.e. how do I fix the missing items on the report I've attached?   I know some I need to clean up the directory/file names so scrapers can find the info.  Most are DVDs of documentaries/TV/etc.

 

 

All fun so far!

you setup saturday night live like any other tv show. folder rips and iso's are accepted using the same naming convention as video files.

 

there is no automated way to download all that missing stuff, although we do have a trailer download plugin. you can use the editor to look for images.

 I'm still not well versed in how to manage things like the following:

 

TV:  if it doesn't have a Season and Episode in the name it doesn't seem to show up under TV.  So what is the recommendation for SNL The Best of Steve Martin?  

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0255576/    Perhaps I could treat it like a MOVIE and enter the imdb for backdrops/posters/etc? 

 

 

SNL: 25 Years of Music (5 DVD set). 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390445/

I tried putting it under Movies and entering the imdb number but metadata still now found. 

 

What about bonus content from TV like the Seinfeld box which has deleted scenes and commentary on scenes?  If this was a movie I would put those files under SPECIALS folder but that doesn't seem to work under TV. How would you recommend treating them?

 

What about bonus DVD's of video from CD issues (i.e. 2 disc collector's edition of a music album with a bonus DVD of concert/music videos?  I currently created a Collection called Music Videos and they who up as video files (like home video) which works.  There often is a screen shot used instead of a poster.  No metadata.   Any best practices on manually managing these types of files?

 

 

Overall I'm pleased...just trying to fine tune.
