I tried searching, but couldn't find the answer. Maybe I didn't search the correct terms.
Anyway, is it possible to set XBMC up so that all the video files are displayed in one place, even though they may reside in different directories on different networked machines?
So, for example, I have an HTPC, Media Server and my own PC that houses various video and audio files. From XBMC, I can access local machine Videos and have entered in the IP addresses of all the other machines so that I can individually access the files on the various systems with no problem. But, it would be nice if I could have it so that there was a single page on which DVD covers are shown for all the video files, regardless of where they reside, since I sometimes can't remember which video file is on which machine.
I didn't have this on the Xbox version, but was wondering if it's available on the PC version.
Other than that everything seems to be working pretty darn well, except for getting errors playing ISO files (which I've seen discussed in another thread).
