CANNOT get Library populated in Kodi - Pelican#1 - 2020-04-26 I have two androids G Box and a Mac computer. I have not used Kodi for a very long time but used to be a good supporter of XBMC. My issue today is this I have hard drives with Movies of the old Video_TS formats. I have copied my fan art etc to the hard drive I can see the file marked XBMC I updated all of my units and Now this is happening. On my G BOX Kodi 18.6 I go to movies in left side It tells me that my library is currently empty. I enter files section I see My hard drive. HOW do I get it to populate my library from here. I right click my mouse and it goes back on the screen. So I go to movies click on files section click on the word files and there is my hard drive and the words Add Videos I click on the word Add Videos /Add Video source/ Browse/ nothing My hard drive is not listed so I cannot set content etc. This was happening before when I updated to 17. something and I just abandoned everything but now I want to watch all my movies. I downloaded the software at lest 4 times, i have tried other hard drives both old and new with no luck. the hard drive is recognized because I can go Movies/enter files section/#1 movies/#1 movies/and up pops all my files with the old cover art displayed but it will not just play the old Video_TS movies as I actually have to click on the file and open it up to the contents I Have no frigging idea what to do I have looked this up everywhere and watched every video and nothing works. Please Help if you know what to do.... RE: CANNOT get Library populated in Kodi - FXB78 - 2020-04-26 You should never use a mouse with Kodi, use a keyboard and you will find it a much better experience. Kodi is not a mouse-click driven UI, as you have found with your right-clicking. Try pressing 'C' on the keyboard to bring up the Context Menu instead of using your mouse, that should set you in the right direction. See https://kodi.wiki/view/Keyboard_controls for a list of keyboard controls. With regards adding Sources, this may help https://kodi.wiki/view/Adding_video_sources RE: CANNOT get Library populated in Kodi - Pelican#1 - 2020-04-27 (2020-04-26, 22:14)FXB78 Wrote: You should never use a mouse with Kodi, use a keyboard and you will find it a much better experience.

That sounded like a great idea but on my Mac the C button does not work I didn't say but the program scans all my files for the Library There is movie fanart showing but when I click on Title there is none showing under the Title TITLE when I click on that. There is fanart under unwatched and Random RE: CANNOT get Library populated in Kodi - Pelican#1 - 2020-04-27 (2020-04-27, 01:32)Pelican#1 Wrote:(2020-04-26, 22:14)FXB78 Wrote: You should never use a mouse with Kodi, use a keyboard and you will find it a much better experience.

I go left on the button that is options and after clicking everything under the sun I discovered that the second line from the bottom that says unwatched can be changed to all videos and that populates the title TITLE. Such a simple fix but if I hadn’t gone to the link I never would have found the fix. I did notice there are a lot of people who do not want the UNWATCHED feature and there were all kinds of fix’s but this is by far the easiest. LOL.

Why is it preprogrammed for unwatched right off the get go. That should be a note in the instructions. Unwatched. Watched and All Videos are the options. It’s a great feature.
