XBMC is a beautiful media center especially with the Confluence skin, but I'm about ready to give up on it. I just cannot get it to work the way I envision it, and trying to configuring it is getting frustrating. I am trying to get my home window set up like this:
Weather (no problems)
Music > Library mode (no problems)
TV Shows > Library mode (problems)
Movies > Library mode (problems)
Video > File mode (problems)(no TV or Movies in here, only other video types)(this one is optional... I can live without it)
I'm on my 5th or 6th clean reinstall over the past two weeks, and sometimes I can get part of that set up working right, but never all of it.
My latest problem is this - I cannot get the Hide - Movies or Hide - TV shows to "un-grey", and the Scan item to library function will not appear in the right-click context menu for TV or Movies (it's there in Music) even though the sources have been added and the content is there. How can I force TV and Movies to appear on the home window, and why isn't scan item to library showing up?
Edit: Forgot to add: Windows 7, x64
