Full Version: files don't play in file view

Hey for some reason when I go into movies>Files or TV shows>Files and then try to select a video nothing happens. I am a complete noob so I'm not sure if this "files" section of XBMC is just for looking at things or if I should be able to play files this way.

If I can't play files this way then I'm wondering is there a way to play files that have not been scraped yet? It would be nice to be able to do this because often I will have stuff downloading while I'm watching something and would like to switch to the new show after without having to rename/move them so that they scrape.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I couldn't seem to find much info on this subject.
post the xbmc.log and we see ... file mode is capable to play files of course in principle.
