[QUOTE="emphatic, post: 1039730, member: 24365"] This is what I do: Movies - I have them in two [B]root folders[/B]* (due to available space on my hard drives) Movies and Movies 2 - add the path to these folders in Moving Pictures and you're done - Moving Pictures will import everything (some movies are inside their own folders, some are just in there, Moving Pictures doesn't disciminate) Movies for kids - I use My Videos for this as I don't want my kids to browse around the Alien trilogy etc - I put all of these movies in a root folder called Kids and setup a path there in My Videos TV Series - Use a root folder for all shows and MP TV-Series is very nice about whatever you have inside the chosen path, just one recent pilot you wanna check out, or complete seasons. Run out of space on that drive, just add another path to a root folder and put more shows in there root folders* (in bold) = For example: F:\Movies 1 (DVD rips)\ Pulp Fiction\Pulp Fiction.mkv Fight Club\VIDEO_TS, AUDIO_TS F:\Kids\ Spy Kids\ Spy Kids.iso Spy Kids 2.iso Spy Kids 3.iso Spy Kids 4.iso The Croods\The Croods.mkv H:\Movies 2 (HD movies)\ Much Ado About Nothing.mkv The Avengers.mkv Etc I don't care what my folders' contents look like (except the Kids folder), as the only thing my family can see using MediaPortal is what the plugins display.
