Hi!
I've been reading some threads about Library not being updated with newly added files, even though one would set the option to automatically update the library on startup. But none solves my current issue, so therefore I'm posting a new thread.
I'm having a folder structure looking like this:
Drive:\MOVIES\<name of movie>\<movie-file-name>.extension
Drive2:\MOVIES\<name of movie>\<movie-file-name>.extension
Drive3:\MOVIES\<name of movie>\<movie-file-name>.extension
Previously, I had a film contained in a .rar-archive in the structure above, and that played with no problem. Then after watching the film, I extracted the .mkv file from the rar archive, cleaned the library and restarted xbmc to update the library. But no matter how I do, it won't get back into the Library view. It's possible to find it in the file browser and start it and manually add it to the library, but I don't want to do that. I want the scraper to add it for me.
I've tried cleaning the folder by removing the .nfo-file also, but that doesn't help. Seems like there's no way to get this file into the library. I would like to know what goes wrong, and if anyone could help me with this issue.
It also seems like far from all my movie files are added to the library. I'm missing a bunch of them, and even if I trigger an update I won't get them into the library. But I find them and can play them through the file browser (so I guess they're not broken).
Any help would be very appreciated.
Kind regards,
/ Tommie.
