The custom path is very close to what is detailed by wgstarks, but I think it will only be the "Containing Directory name" that is used, so if you have your film in:
Movies/3D Movies/Thor 3D/Thor.mkv
Then your extras will be in:
<Custom Path>/Movies/Thor 3D
Hope that helps

Dear Rob,
For the manual I am creating: I am a bit confused as to which would be the right remote directory name for MusicVideos. Do these extras have their own directory, since we have Container.Content(musicvideos)? I realised we haven't specified this bit on the wiki.
Hope you are fine.

Best,

Is anyone using this in Helix?
I recently installed the Beta 1 and just copied over my advancedsettings.xml hoping for the best.
No video extras are found after a library scan. I made no modifications to the working as.xml, as it worked perfectly in Gotham. Thread search here reveals only one mention of Helix.

Yes, I believe they should - there is a value in settings for these - should be "MusicVideos" by default

If you have a debug log I might be able to have a quick look - no promises of a solution in any timely manner.

P.S. Not getting email notification for posts on this thread any more - so will only get replies when I check manually until notifictions kick back into life.

The log shows videoextras searching for the <title>\Extras entries, but then just continues on without adding anything that's contained in the directory.
log file
Looks like it isn't finding any files, maybe a bug in the XBMC Python libraries, as the code does:
Code:
log("VideoExtrasFinder: Checking existence for %s" % extrasDir)
extras = []
# Check if the extras directory exists
if xbmcvfs.exists(extrasDir):
# list everything in the extras directory
dirs, files = xbmcvfs.listdir(extrasDir)
for filename in files:
log("VideoExtrasFinder: found file: %s" % filename)
And the only logging we see is:
Code:
script.videoextras: VideoExtrasFinder: Checking existence for Z:\Movies\Scanner Darkly, A (2006)\Extras
And then no files listed, so either the xbmcvfs.exists(extrasDir) or xbmcvfs.listdir(extrasDir) is not working I think.

Thanks for looking it over Rob.
Now my question is: Is there anything i can do to help? Or, did we find a bug and need to open a trac?

Yes, please feel free to raise a Trac - I haven't read anything that states that addons need to do anything to "align" with Helix, so it seems like a bug.
Thanks

Just a quick question. I already have all my TV extras working, can I set this up for ONLY movie extra's? Currently all my movies are in one directory on my NAS so I assume I either have to create folders for each movie title or put a new folder on the NAS called Movies for the extras?
Thanks...

Hi Randy,
Yes you can set this up for Movies only. The suggested/best way is to split things into directories, but is should also be possible to use the names of the files:

Hopefully it's not something with my setup and an actual bug that can be fixed!
Hi thrak76,
Thanks for raising that - just spotted that Martijn posted a suggestion.
What Martijn posted is correct with regards to the Python api docs - I suppose it was just luck that it worked before in Frodo/Gotham - most probably something changed in Helix that means it really does need the final directory slash.
I have updated the code - but have only had a very quick test, seems OK - there is a beta at the following location if you wanted to give it a try.

Thanks
