Media Portal searched for all possible media files and indexed them but it has missed the folders where i keep most of my music and video files. How can I get media portal to index these folders?? :?:

In Mediaportal setup, you can add "shares". That's the MP keyword for "folder containing media". You'll have to do it in setup/my music and setup/my movies seperately. Afer that, you can consider a database scan (again seperate for the two types) to get MP3 tags and IMDB info respectively. (DB scan is optional, though a good idea in general)

I looked around for the way to add a share, but I could not find it anywhere. I went to settings and my video, but there was nothing about a way to add a share. Any insight?
