is there a step by step setup guide? (1 Viewer)

[chinolofus]

i just installed mediaportal and i cant figure it out. i added a movie and music folder in configuration mode but it doesnt see them. for music it recognizes one cd only. when i click music then mediamonkey (my player of choice). it automatically goes to that cd. also there is no artwork or info even though im connected to the internet.

so what im asking is help on those issues and if there is a step by step guide for setting this up?

Hi there,

I believe you need to install all the codecs for audio and video, afterwards you can play musics and videos accordingly. The sites has all the info about it posted.

Hope that helps

ps if you only have your master Music folder ticked in config, then that is the folder automatically entered when clicking on music in MP's GUI.

thanks that looks like i was looking for. i only have one folder with music on this pc and i ticked it but it only reads that one cd. the folder doesnt even show up in MP. only mediamonkey and zune show up.

the folder doesnt even show up in MP

Is this a local folder on the pc's hdd, or on a network.

well i was trying one on my destop and it didnt work for music or videos. then i tried a folder in documents and it showed up when i put it under videos. but when i put it under music it wouldnt show up at all. the folder mostly has full cds of mp3's. also when they showed up in the videos section they didnt have any thumbs or info.

Do they show up in windows media player 11 ok.

Wonder if the file types are tied in some way to MediaMonkey.

If you go to MP config\music\database, select the options you want and then scan for files, does it find them.
