Look at the flag in settings>appearance>file lists>show hidden files and directories..

Some times in the case of extrathumbs and extrafanart folders.. you need to put this bit in your advancedsettings.xml file.

<video>
<excludefromlisting><!-- Regular expressions that if evaluated to true won't be displayed in Files View -->
<regexp>[-._ \\/]extrafanart|extrathumbs[-._ \\/]</regexp>
</excludefromlisting>
</video>

Still no good. Show Hidden files and folders is disabled. I also addea that bit into my advancedsettings.xml .i moded it a little

<video> <excludefromlisting><!-- Regular expressions that if evaluated to true won't be displayed in Files View --> <regexp>[-._ \\/].actors[-._ \\/]</regexp> </excludefromlisting> </video>

But it still appears in my folders. Am i doing something wrong

hmm, are you sure you are looking at "Movies" and not in "Videos" > "Movies"? (im not asking to be rude but for me, i only see this in videos > movies but not in movies) also...your problem may be skin related...what skin are you using?

[introputz]

Ok i doubled checked abd my movie folder is under the video menu. Im also running aeon nox skin. funny thing is that i have a laptop withthe same skin and using the same shares and i dont see the .actors folder. So far I cannot find what is different between the settups.

Im pretty sure its going to be something very stupid. But I still cannot figure it out

[digitaltomj]

that's your problem...you are looking at your file lists and not your library. there must be a setting in the skin to either put your movie library on your home screen or see your videos > movies in library mode...ive never used aeon nox before but Ill download it now and see if i can help

[introputz]

Im viewing both setup in list view. I dont use the library mode

Thx

[digitaltomj]

Hmmm...I just downloaded it and messed around a bit...If I click on the "Movies" button right in the homescreen it acts like it should, and im in library view...its only when i go to "Videos" enter the submenu (with a down arrow) and scroll to "Movies" am I able to replicate the perceived problem (which is how it is supposed to look in file mode opposed to library mode)...I checked out the skin settings and couldn't find a way to remove "Movies" from the homescreen bar so if you are missing that button in your homescreen I would post this in the aeon nox forum and maybe someone that understands the skin could help you...personally, I use Transparency.

PS, if you messed with the skin you may want to delete and re-install it

Well looks like i found my problem ..... i had an extra </video> near the end of my advancedsettings.xml.. so it failed loading every time xbmc started up. Told you it was something stupid.

Digitaltomj thx for the help. i realised it when u mentioned The movies menu. I remember having it once but every since i reset up my main xbmc i never saw it.

Thx again

NP, glad to help
