Hello and thanks for all the work you done for the comunity !
I face a problem since using Kodi instaed of xbmc.
i have different HD's,
while trying to add them into one category ( film for example )
Videos->Files->Add Video...->Video Sources
Brouse -> add 1 HD
Add
Brouse -> add 2 HD
etc..
etc..
At the End
i confirm Content is FILM
i use the localy strored nfo files
recursiv scan is enabeled
i agree to update all the files in this paths
i see the shrink is running of the db
but no files are added within the database
if i add only ONE HD and produce a lot those configurations
( each HD have One Config ) ,
then it works.
same happen to series also.
sry for my english.
hope it is good enough to explain what happen
and someone is able to help.
brgds

Correction:
Fresh Install of kodi
Add 2 HD to one Category Film.
no scanning as expected
go into settings->video-> change ( as per your comment ) "update library on start
now it works
thanks jkirk
will keep you informed what happen if i add all the other HD's into this group

Try turning off recursive scanning (unless you have your movie folders split into genres, etc) and then go back and make sure your content is set to Movies. Once you confirm this immediately update the library or scan for new content. I have seen where adding the source forgets the content setting as well. I have been trying to reproduce this but cannot seem to find a systematic issue. I use local NFO files too and they can be a PITA.

Hi jKirk,
Try turning off recursive scanning <DONE>
content is set to Movies <DONE>
scan for new content >DONE>
but no effect to all of this.
Set "refresh library on start" is working after setting.
thanks for help

^I agree, there's a breakdown in user education here.
1. If it's no longer supported, or encouraged, to group together multiple locations in one source -- then the "Add" button should not be there!
2. If this is the case, it should have been announced somewhere when Kodi/Helix went to the Final Release.

1. Does it anywhere actually say it is removed? No it doesn't so don't assume.
2.no one reads

It's not that it doesn't work - it just doesn't work like it used to in Gotham.
You can still add multiple sources to a single source - it just doesn't automatically update that source when you've finished the wizard. Once you go back and scan for new content it updates and works just fine.

I'm having the same problem, I think. I cannot add multiple paths to a single video source any longer under Kodi, or else it won't scan them. I can create a new source, e.g. "Movies" and add a mapped drive to one of my external drives, say, "O:\MOVIES", and it will scan fine, but if I add a second path, "P:\MOVIES", to that source, then it no longer will scan for new content.
In Gotham, I had one folder "Movies" with four mapped drives. Under Kodi, I had to break it up into four sources, each with one mapped drive, for them to be recognized and scan properly.
