Full Version: Playing files directly from file mode?

Hi guys, I have my video library fully set up for my movie and TV show collection which works great. However, I deliberately haven't added several files (single one off documentaries and my collection of late night talk shows), as they aren't recognised by TheTVDB. Yes, the site has the various talk shows added but often the info is missing and I like to sort by airdate rather than "season/episode number". I've got them all together in a single folder fully organised in this style:

(for example)
--Late Shows
----Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The
------1992
--------1 - 1992.05.25 - Billy Crystal, Robert Krulwich, Shanice.avi
--------26 - 1992.06.29 - Tom Hanks, Brian Ross, Delbert McClinton.avi
------1993
(and so on)

I've added the folder as a source, however I don't want it to be added to the TV shows library. Is there any way to keep it as a folder and simply browse it in file mode and play the files directly from file mode?

At the moment when I try to do this the files won't be play, but it keeps asking for scaper and content info.

Thanks in advance for any help!
