Quick question. I have 5 hard drives. There is a movie folder on each of the drives. Within each folder there is a subfolder containing the video files. How can i set up mediaportal so that when i click on 'my videos' i don't get a list of folders. What i want is a list of all the subfolders contained on all of the 5 drives listed in one place.

Is there any way of doing this?

:)

Sure, just add all the movie folders in the config under movies and do a scan under database...
This way youll get actor info and nice cover art too... (mind you: if you download actors, it could take a long time!)

Currently not.

If it is mostly movies and they are mostly correctly named, you can go into the Configuration / Movies / Database and have MP scan your 5 folders. It will lookup IMDB info and add movies to the database. Then inside MP you switch to Title View through the menu and you will see all movies that made it into the database.
