Database setup for multiple hard drives (1 Viewer)

[Lister2000]

My question is this. I have more than one HD with movies on it lets say Movies A-L and Movies M-Z and they are both placed in the video folders section of MP. So I goto MP player select videos and see A-L and an arrow at the top. If I select the arrow then I see both Movies A-L and Movies M-Z.

Can I set up MP so that no matter how many HD's are connected all the movies would be in that first menu and avoid having to use the arrow to goto the directory? Creating the appearance that all the files are within one HD for faster and more effective navigation.

Hope that makes sense

Hello and welcome

Can I set up MP so that no matter how many HD's are connected all the movies would be in that first menu and avoid having to use the arrow to goto the directory? Creating the appearance that all the files are within one HD for faster and more effective navigation.

It sounds like you're using "shares" view which means MP shows the files in the structure that you use on the HDDs. To do what you want, you need to import the movies into the videos database and probably use "title" view.
