More than one movie folder (1 Viewer)

[yadlik]

Guys
I have my movies spread across 2 hard drives. How do i get MP to recognize both at the same time without having to go into the configuartion and switch back and forth? For instance C:\Movies and F:\Movies II both need to be "seen" by MP but in in the Movie Folders portion of MP Configuration I can only check one or the other....
Thanks
Y

basically you "scan" the movies to add them to the database. Then view movies through a database "View". The Databse can be populated from as many locations as you wish (i.e. multiple hard drives and folders etc)

Now - the really stupid question - how do you do that?

In the configuration screen go to Movies, expand it and go to Movie folders. After that just hit he Add button and give it the info you want.

Once you've done that you can go to the main MP screen and select Movies. It should be there. If not go to the first icon (the up arrow) and click it until you're at the top of your movies directory. you should now see your new folder.

Go to the movie section in MediaPortal configuration and create a database by scanning your movie folders:

MediaPortal/Configuration/Movies/Database - MediaPortal Manual Documentation

After that start MP, navigate to the movie section and switch the view to database:
