The current version of Media Center Master is 2.14. Version 1.32 has been used for many the examples in the wiki, so beware that some of the options may be expanded or look different than various screen shots.

Official/Unofficial Wiki Pages Most of the content on the wiki was written by fans and users like yourself. If a page is marked as Official, then the content was written with official information (usually by the software author).


There are four (4) common issues that will come up during a set-up of XBMC by users who also use Media Center Master.

  • The first issue is to use the XBMC settings tab in Media Center Master. These settings should be set according to your folder/file structure and the skin chosen for visualization, and Media Center Master should be used to scan your collection before it is added into XBMC.
  • The second issue will come about after setting the scan folders for your collection. Here it is required to set the contents of the folder by selecting a meta-data fetcher. In that Media Center Master has already fetched meta-data and images, simply disconnect the internet from your computer during the initial set-up/scanning of collection folders. This will force XBMC to use the .nfo files and image files you acquired with Media Center Master. After the collection is scanned into XBMC, reconnect the internet connection for Add-ons/scripts, weather data,... updates.
  • The third issue is using the actors/crew member images collected with Media Center Master. XBMC wants them in the individual movie/tv show folders. Media Center Master has a setting for all of the images to be downloaded into one folder. This has been addressed through the forums and is, already, listed in the Issue Tracker, Issue 780: Ability to use existing Actor images from MCM/MB with XBMC. Should you, also, wish to have a feature like this in Media Center Master, please visit the link and star it for priority consideration (click on: Vote for this issue and get email change notifications, listed at the bottom of the issue, under add a comment).
  • The fourth issue is the use of locally stored Movie Trailers. XBMC requires trailer files to be named in a specific manner and be saved in the movie folder. A "Premium Version" of Media Center Master is required for downloading, renaming and parsing trailer files.

Use the quick set-up instructions on the XBMC website to configure XBMC v10.1.
