I've put off asking in here for 6 weeks, but I'm pulling my hair out so have caved in and am going to ask.
I updated from XBMC to Kodi and did it as a fresh install instead of an update. Big mistake. I can't import videos to my library. Music, not a problem. Videos though?
I have tried the following configurations, all with both nfo & tbn files, with only nfo files, with only tbn files and with neither nfo nor tbn files.
/Music Videos/Artist Name - Video Name.ext
/Music Videos/Artist Name/Artist Name - Video Name.ext
/Music Videos/Artist Name/Video Name/Artist Name - Video Name.ext
I have tried adding them to a custom menu for Music Videos as well as to Videos and to Movies. None of them add the videos to the library.
All videos appear in File Manager and I can play individual videos from there, but they just will not add to the library and the tiles/widgets don't see them.
I'm obviously missing something in the menus. Have you any ideas where I might be going wrong? I've tried scanning manually as well as setting it to update the library on startup.
Thanks in advance for any advice :-)
The fact. That kodi doesnt detect your music videos has nothing to do with the skin. So you must be doing something differently.
To add music videos one normaly add a new video source under "videos->Files" when adding that source you must select the content type to "Music Videos" and select a scrapper or choose "local nfo". Then you newd to sacn the newly added source.
Another thing, you mention tbn files. Since Gotham the naming of Image files changed, you shouldnt be using tbn files, but jpg or png files ( correctly named of course)
