Okay, so the very first time I tried to upload movies I had to "add source" or select the location in which I told xbmc to find my movies folder. That all worked out and I correctly added 16 movies to the media center w/o any problems...now I am trying to add to that existing location (I downloaded new movies and placed them in the same "Movies" folder as the existing movies that xbmc already has) problem is...when I goto Videos>FilesI now have folders named: Movies (contains all 15 movies I first uploaded) and Movies 2 (contains all the 15 movies from first upload plus the new movies)...and when I go to "Movies" as if I want to watch a movie, there are duplicates of the first 15 and the new movies I added have one copy as they should.
Here is what I did when I wanted to add new movies. I went to Videos>Files>Add Videos...I then selected the source where all of my movies are contained (F:\Torrent Downloads\Movies\) and went through the normal process..I selected the "Each movie is in its own folder" option or w/e .... so basically it just re-downloaded the entire source and now has two separate files for it (Movies, my first time adding the source, and Movies 2 when I attempted to add the new movies). I thought it automatically detects what it has already uploaded etc....what did I do wrong and how can I fix this?
Sorry if this sounds confusing. I basically uploaded the same source twice thinking it wouldnt add duplicate movies since it already has them loaded, but it did.
Edit: I have since removed the "Movies" (my very first time uploading) folder, and deleted all content from library and then renamed the "Movies 2" folder to "Movies" ... but next time I add movies (most likely very soon) I don't want to have to go through this process again of adding the entire library, having duplicates, and then deleting the old folder
