I upgraded from 10.1 to Frodo yesterday.
I've got a few issues I was looking for help with
My cyberlink remote no longer brings up the contextual menu on TV shows
The tv shows and films have been added to the library from a dlna scan rather than adding a source manually.
How can i exclude folders/shows? I have two folders appear that i dont want. One folder is an unknown, the other I want to access manually as it's full of music concerts
Thx

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying these are things that you could do in 10.1 but you can't do anymore in 12.2?
Also, which OS are you running?

A DNLA source populated your library? That's very strange. I think something funky happened when XBMC updated the video database. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this, but a
debug log (wiki) of you accessing these shows in the GUI on Frodo might tell us something.

Sorry for being such a noob, but how do I get those logs?

Your library is using SMB sources, not DLNA.
I'm guessing your 10.1 DB was updated but something happened to your sources.xml file, which means you can't access videos and folders in files view, but you can access then in library view.
It sounds like you just need two add the sources again so that you can tell XBMC to exclude certain paths. The sources on the DB level might no longer have their content type set, which would prevent the info window from coming up when you select a TV show.
As long as you add a source that looks like this: smb://TVANDTUNES/video/
You should be okay and XBMC shouldn't make duplicates. Maybe.

Thanks for the reply. When I add new tv shows, they are added to my library when I reboot the Acer. Therefore, as you say, something has stuck. Shoud I delete the sources.xml file and add my sources again?
any idea about the crashing on reboot?
Thx
