[Spinalcrack]

Spinalcrack, thanks for the quick reply. I tried everything last night with the drives opening and nothing would solve it until I took the DVD drive out of the mix and used only the BD drive. Not a big deal once I got that because I'll be building a new HTPC only rig which will only have the BD drive in it anyway.

As far as the sub-folder thing. I didn't know XBMC liked it that way better. We'll just leave it like that then! Basically what I'm trying to accomplish is to have a "no brainer" movie only server set up for an older, non techie (at all) person to be able to buy their new bluray movie, add it to their collection and then browse and play from their collection without having to understand how any of it works. Your script was a huge step in making this happen. I want the highest possible quality so don't plan on compressing the mkv file anyway. Now If I can just find a skin to use that I can have more specific to just movies (and probably weather) and not have the other items cluttering the main menu. Again...to make it a no-brainer movie only server for an easily confused non-tech person.

Oh ok, perfect, then you should be set already. The way I would approach "uncluttering" the menu for your non-techie person is to enable masterlock and use a 4 digit pin. In the masterlock settings you can remove the menus you do not want to show when the system is locked, but at any time you can choose unlock, punch in the pin and they all come back. That way your non-techie friend won't have access to the settings, addon's you do not want them messing with etc. You can have just Movies and TV shows displaying, Music maybe, and nothing else.

If you want to get even more advanced, there is a way to map a remote button to call up the masterlock unlock pin window from any screen. I know because I set that up for a friend that wanted to have his programs show when putting in a pin and not show the rest of the time so his kids wouldn't see R rated stuff. Worked super slick! But that's a whole other thread

Oh and Transparency! is by far my favourite skin. Give it a shot. Good luck!
