Full Version: Default Movie folder
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I just finish installing XBMCbuntu. Everything went well, only two things I just can not get it to work.
First, and most important default movie folder.

On XBMC 10 I just needed to press the movie button and I did see a my movies.Now when I press Movies, I just see different folders, including the folder with my movies.
After pressing this one, I can see all the movies I have.

I already tried to change the source.xml but that did not give the result I want.

this is what I did:

<sources>
<programs>
<default pathversion="1"></default>
</programs>
<video>
<default pathversion="1">Movies</default>
<source>
<name>Movies</name>
<path pathversion="1">smb://STREAMBAK/Films 1/</path>
<path pathversion="1">smb://STREAMBAK/Films 2/</path>
</source>
<source>
<name>TV Shows</name>
<path pathversion="1">/home/xbmc/TV Shows/</path>
</source>
</video>
<music>
<default pathversion="1">Muziek</default>
<source>
<name>Muziek</name>
<path pathversion="1">smb://STREAMBAK/Muziek/</path>
</source>
</music>
<pictures>
<default pathversion="1">Fotos</default>
<source>
<name>Fotos</name>
<path pathversion="1">smb://STREAMBAK/Fotos/</path>
</source>
</pictures>
<files>
<default pathversion="1"></default>
<source>
<name>SABNZB</name>
<path pathversion="1">smb://STREAMBAK/SABNZB/</path>
</source>
<source>
<name>E</name>
<path pathversion="1">smb://STREAMBAK/E/</path>
</source>
</files>
</sources>

As you can see, I placed MOVIES between defaultpath. But did not help.If I start XBMC and go to my movies, again I see different folders including my Movies folder.

For the record, I DO NOT USE LIBRARY mode. I just use FILE mode

Second problem.

XBMC does not show up on my network list on my Desktop.
Again, XBMC 10 did show me all needed folders when I did go to my network list on my desktop.

Wonder if this two think can be solved


I got the same problem #1. Maybe thats due to the fact, that library mode is enabled by default?

Edit
It seems to be covered in the FAQ:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBM...ke_default

And here:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=94372

I was wrong, the FAQ entry did not help with the default movie folder issue.

How do we manage to get the old behavior back? The default folders for pictures, music still work, but for videos it does not.

bytheway: maybe the thread starter seninha could remove "Linux" from the topic as it does not relate to a linux problem. thanks.
*bump*
It's been removed in Eden. A facility to do it will only be added once the video library reorganisation is finished.
I hope it uses the video default tag from the sources.xml as before. Thanks for the info. Where can I read more about the video library reorganization?
No, it won't.

There's a pull request on github, else just check my github branches.
