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.

    Hi, I didn't have SQL problems but just wanted to agree that on my Win7 system, a clean install of 1.36 TV server x86 does not work since it won't start the TV server configuration. Installing 1.33 first and upgrading to1.36 fixed the problem. Eggert

    I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.
