I'm referring to the one in your first link.
I tried with and without the VIDEO_TS folder. Makes no difference.
It's still not working correctly but I sure made big progress following your advise!
Until now my DVD's weren't showing up at all. Now they show up 'incomplete'.
I think the problem is this:
Using your method Kodi correctly displays the title of the episode. The DVD can be played without the slightest issue.
But the DVD contains several episode; and only one is shown in the list.
When I run that episode, it's not the episode which is played but the DVD menu. From that menu I can access all episodes on that DVD. Good.
Three questions:
1] Is Kodi able to display all episodes on a DVD?
2] If yes; is Kodi able to directly jump to that episode?
3] Can I just skip all the scraping and just list the DVD (or files) without all the fancy stuff like fanart, plot etc?
Question 3 might need some additional explanation.
The naming of my DVDs and separate files (mkv, avi, mp4) is not according to Kodi naming standards.
I could rename everything and get fancy artwork and stuff but that's time consuming.
Can Kodi list DVDs/files it doesn't recognize by using the file names.
Say:
\\Htpc-pc\h\TV Shows\Almost Human\Season One\DVD 1.2 Eps 4-6\VIDEO_TS\ ....all files...
Then Kodi show the DVD just by name. No plot, no artwork. Just the DVD I can click and start. (not the .ifo)
A related 'problem' is home made movies:
I filmed some family stuff like parties, kids in the playground etc.
How do I show those DVDs in Kodi without using the file browser and starting the .IFO file?
