Hi XBMC forum,
I'm a new user of XBMC and I have a library problem! Following scanning I can see my tv shows and music videos in library mode but cannot see movies, however all three categories appear in file mode and everything works just fine.
I've read the wiki sections covering scanning, setting content, scrapers and naming conventions but still no luck seeing those movies in library mode!
If any one can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
Cheers. Daniel.

It's a "scraper". One p. Not a scrapper.

Hi,
My folder structure is:
Movies>film x (1999)>VIDEO>DVD files
Scraper has been set to IMDB and movies has been selected as the content type.
Thanks. Daniel.

Hi,
I was not making any progress activating library for my movies so I took the decision to start from scratch. After an Apple TV factory restore and reinstall of XBMC I have a working movie library again. The issue (instantly saw it in the fresh install) was that I had deleted the original movies folder in XBMC file view - this was done after several botched atempts at importing movies the first time around! This prevented movies from being shown in library mode but still allowed them to be accessible in file mode. Note to self - RTFM!
Thanks for your responses.
Daniel
