How do I show films from different folders?

Jedfordski · 2008-10-03, 18:30

Hi guys,

I've got films stored in several folders, over different drives. How can I access them all through Media Portal? I can only select one folder at a time through the Config program.

Cheers,

Jed.

The best thing is to not use the "Shares"-view. You are far better of using a database view, which means you have to scan your filmes.

ATM I actually advice you to give the plugin Moving Pictures a try first, as it seems to scan movies better than the built in My Videos

See: Moving Pictures - MediaPortal Forum - only downside is partial lack of skin support for some skins.
