really big HTPC

DecRa_007 · 2007-12-06, 08:34

Hello,
I have a really big HTPC (12TB) with 2x12 500GB seagate barracudas. I have 10TB original movies on de HDD's. Now is the problem that i can't see where witch movies placed on the HDD. Is it not possible to combine all the folders to one folder? So then i could see the hole list in one time and not just the one folder.

Is there anyone that could help me with this problem?

thx

Add them to the database and then change view to title rather than share.

there is a post somewhere on how to link folders so that a unique folder shows the content of all of them. have a search.

it can be done.

Thx for the reply's but none of them really works. If i scan the database every movie could be found but still in MP I just see whats on the single HDD and not all the movies.

Thx

I am confused - you did a scan, MP found all the movies, but you still don't see them in MP? Are you still in the Share view (basically browsing folders)? After the scan, make sure you switch the view in MP to a database view (e.g. Title).
