hi - i installed xmbx/boxee last weekend and altough i really love XBMCs interface and the imdb integration, i still find it very tedious to browse and manage/add content.
shouldn't the XBMC version for the apple tv/intues just somehow import your existing iTunes library (movies, tv shows, etc.) without me having to manually define all the sources ?
i am currently using 4 external drives for all my movies and tv shows. and i'm using a separate folder on each drive per genre. and seasons for a particular tv show are not always on the same drive either. so all my drives usually look like this
Drive A:
movies
-action
- sci-fi
- etc.
tv shows
- dexter
-- season 1
Drive B:
movies
-action
- sci-fi
- etc.
tv shows
- dexter
-- season 2
Now when i just add the "movie" folder of each drive as a source, i always have to navigate to the genre folder in order to get to the movie files. is there a whay around this ?
basically, i'd like to see a list of all my movies when i click on "watch movies" - regardless of where and in which folder those files are stored.
but maybe i did something fundamentally wrong when i added the sources ?
when i downloaded the "atlantis" update with itunes integration, being a mac user, i sort of expeted it to just do all the magic in the background... ; )
any tips would be greatly appreciated
thanks
marc
