Howdy all,
I posted a thread here a while back, but I got sidetracked and my HTPC crashed bigtime, so I've rebuilt it and it's now up and running again.
However, I still have the same query I had a while ago and I'm not much closer to finding a solution. Allow me to paint the picture for you.
I have a HTPC with a 4Tb HDD.
I have three main directories: "Movies", "TV Shows" and "Documentaries".
Movies and TV shows aren't an issue. They show up on the home screen, scrape well, all good there. (Using the Confluence skin at the moment).
What I want to do is add an entry to the Home screen- "Documentaries"- and have it pointed at the folder on the HDD, so it shows up just the same as TV shows and Movies. I also need to be able to find a scraper that can deal with these shows.
I absolutely, positively do not want to go around editing xml files, smart playlists, tags etc.- this ended up disastrously last time.
Surely there has to be a simple way to do this? Or a skin that has it inbuilt or is able to be modified relatively easily? I've tried a few skins (Aeon NOX, Nebula, Black Glass Nova and a few others) but they are very difficult to actually do what I'm after.
Any tips?
