Hi,

I am a complete newbie to xbmc. I just installed it on my Apple TV 2. My files are stored on a My Book Live. Problem I am seeing is when I try to access movies. It does not seem to have the movies organized. So I was wondering how I should be structuring my movie files so that they get displayed properly when viewing in xbmc. My movie files have to be structured in such a way so that when I view in xbmc it is easy to follow.

Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks and I look forward to your reply..
