avi-files (1 Viewer)

[hato]

I have just installed Mediaportal, play DVD is ok but I can´t show movies who use avi-files.(no files in list).
When I use Windows mediaplayer it´s ok. Codec problems?

Being able to see the files is different from being able to play them.

If you cant see your films in the Movies section then make sure that you have added the movie folder, and that you are in "Shares" view.

I can´t see any files in my "Film directory". When I use the ordinary browser all files are there.
For example I configurated the "MovieFolders" at "C:\Documents and Settings\hato\My Documents\My Pictures" and puts the avi-files there. Then when I use the Media portal "browser" it´s empty. I have no problems to browse to my pictures.

Is your view in mediaportal set to shares? that should show you all files as you would see them in Windows Explorer

New test. Connected a USB-disk and used it as a "Movie folder", can see the files and play films.
Tryed to use my NAS as a "Movie folder", no files was visible.
Next step, created a local directory and put a movie file there. Configurated the directory as a "Movie folder", can´t se any files there???

"Set to shares", where do I configurate?

You need to add the movie folder from within the Movies section of the MediaPortal Configuration program

Yes that´s what I have done. And it works when I added the USB disk but not when I add a local folder or one folder at the NAS.

The system crashed and I have to do a power off.
Now it works except the NAS-function, I have to tru to use it as a FTP instead.
