Thanks for the quick reply, Kib. I removed my folders and started again, following the XBMC Frodo guide. I added my films folder, told XBMC it held movies, then sat back and let it go through everything which took a while. I did notice that the Add Files option had disappeared, but I assumed it did that so as not to be overloaded in scanning through all of my films and tv shows folders. I let it scan them all, and went back to the home menu and did a quick test by selecting Movies, and everything showed up properly. Great, I thought.
I went back to Videos, selected Files, and... the only option there is Films - Add Files is no longer there. I now can't add my tv show folders or whatever else. What to do now?
Edit - After some browsing, I found that the Add Videos option had been disabled in settings. This is what I find frustrating about XBMC, and which has held me back from swapping to it until now - seemingly random things like this. Why would the Add Videos option suddenly not be enabled? Very odd.
Okay, one last question - is there any way I can add my own category to the home screen? I have a folder called web & comedians, and it's just filled with things as various as concert videos, gametrailers specials, and obviously live comedian shows. I don't need a scraper to look through all of that, I can just leave it as a file view if need be. Can this be done?
Edit again - Oh, geeze. Here we go again. After adding my tv shows, I've now got multiple missing episodes. Adventure Time, for example, says it has only one episode, and for some reason it has picked season three's episode 10. What the hell? There is nothing different about Adventure Time's folder setup as opposed to any other, inside the main folder each season is labelled as -
Season 1
Season 2
- and so on. Inside that each episode is labelled as -
01 - It Came From The Nightosphere.mkv
02 - The Eyes.mkv
-and so on. Some have only one episode also, and others have nothing at all! So why is XBMC showing only one episode from one season? What the hell does it want? Like I said, frustrating.
