If I understood you correctly there were some movies that xbmc looked at, but did not understand well enough to put them into your movie library.

Basically you have to use the "files" view. The problem is finding it. It is annoyingly well hidden, despite being an incredibly useful feature. It's location depends a bit on which xbmc skin/settings you are using, but there may be a "files" tab under "videos" or "movies" in the main menu. If not, go to your movie library and to the ".." (parent directory) twice.

As far as I understand, the (internal) video menu system in xbmc works like this:

Top level menu:

• Movies


• Recently added movies


• Files (the one you want)


• Playlists


• Video add-ons

If you select the Movies menu item you get:

• Genres


• Title


• Year
  ..etc

If you select the Title menu item, you will see your normal movie library.

So, it seems the "movies" menu item on the xbmc main menu really is a link to an internal submenu that is two levels further down from the root menu. And it is the root menu you want, in order to find the magic and elusive "files" view.

Once you find it, you should see a list of ALL your movies, where in your case a few of them are displayed by filename instead of the movie name. If the movies have their own subdirs you will have to enter the subdir to see if the movie title was detected or not. Normally some movies are not detected because xbmc doesn't understand their file name.

Once you have highlighted one of your missing movies, hit C on the keyboard to access the context menu. Then select movie information, and you should be able to enter a new title for the movie. Play around with that until the internet scraper finds your movie, and voila!, it's finally loaded into the library.

Phew.

Final note: If you have movies that do not exist in the lists of the internet scraper, it is possible to manually create movie meta data on the file system that xbmc can read instead. See here: XBMC Wiki
