Hi,

I would like to use my library to index all the files that are available on my harddrive, I don't need to access them directly through Kodi.
My library consists of VIDEO_TS folders of complete DVDs (movies & series), but also folders which contain .mkv or .avi files.
It is very problematic for me to make them show up correctly in the Kodi library.

As I use a Zidoo media player, files are accessible through the 'file manager' of that media player.
Is it possible to scrape on the basis of empty folders (i.e. F:/series/Movie1) while the actual files are somewhere else located? (i.e. F:/actual series)
Using this method, I don't have to create a folder structure by indicating which disc contains which episode, etc.

Thanks!

What exactly do you want to use Kodi for then ?

Sounds like you don't want to use either it's library or playback functions ? FYI, Kodi also has a file manager that you can use to access your files.

I'd like to use Kodi for the media info; to index what is on my harddrive and read about the series/movies on them.
