I apologize in advance if this post is in the wrong place.
After alot of online searching, I wasn't able to find any documentation regarding a "connection" between My Movies and XBMC that did not require the new "scraper" add-in. Is there a way to simply import a file or files from My Movies into XBMC without the need for the new "scraper" add-in? If so, I would be thrilled to be pointed in the right direction.
Today, I purchased the new "scraper" add-in and am running it right now. The reason I ask the above, is that I plan on using multiple small PCs running XBMC (and perhaps XBMC Live) through my video switcher. All of these machines will be located in the basement. I was hoping to find a way to elegantly "integrate" My Movies with XBMC and hopefully XBMC Live across multiple boxes so that database maintainance could be kept to "one machine" and "one location".
Thank you in advance for your help.

The My Movies Collection Management program stores NFO files for XBMC if you configure it within it's configuration.
XBMC automatically picks these up.
These files are stored both by the Collection Management program, and the WHS software.
The combiation between files and scraper is good, as you will get XBMC to read the NFO for folders that already have data, and the scraper will then be used for items that do not.

Can the xbmc scrapper be used with dealer installer licences rather than 2500 points? Thanks

It can not, no.
It is following a user account, and that user account must either have API purchased or have 2500 points.

Hi Brian Thanks for the reply. I turned on NFO files in the WHS console and updated, it then started generating the NFO files it's also created .tbn files what are these? I did not turn on NFO files in CM options on the client I assume this is correct for a WHS install? I've also installed the my movies scrapper and logged in using a user account that has 2500 points I was very reluctant to try and use the default TheMovieDB scrapper in XBMC so I didn't. I can now see in XMBC I now have a movie library rather than just the file mode I had before setting up the scrapper addin. I need to add more movie folders and test some more. Like XBMC so far although there is allot I am still unsure of. Cheers

The TBN files are image files for XBMC.
I would recommend to turn on NFO creation in CM also, otherwise you do not get edit updates.
There is no doubt that XBMC is a great product, for My Movies however, there is a huge difference in providing an interface, and providing meta-data.
