Multiple Drives Single Folder? (1 Viewer)

Does anyone know of a way to take files from two different harddrives and make mediaportal display them in the same folder? I got spoiled by this when I used XBMC on my xbox. Essentially I'd like to take my Movies on one raid and display them with the movies on my other raid to show them all in one folder in mediaportal. Right now I have to go through two folders to find the movie I want. Any way of doing this?

Thanks guys

    Hi Bencorn

    If you add the 2 llocations to the MP config\movies\database and scan them for details, once done and saved, start mediaportal\movies, left context menu, change view from shares to title, this will then show details for all your movies aphabetically.

    Downside is if you add movies on a regular basis, either you need to add them in config or open mp and change view back to shares, go to the location of your new file\s and select imdb update\refresh from that menu.

    Welcome to MP :)

    Thanks a ton. This was great information. Now I just have to figure out a way to cluster all the TV series folders together to keep them separate from all the movies. I'm thinking I'll just add an asterisk or a number before the folder name to cluster them all at the beginning. Minor inconvenience for having them all in the same folder. Thanks again.
