Hi Ronnie,
Firstly - I love the skin!
I'm new to XBMC and Transparency! and am just a bit confused as to the difference of Video Library and Video Files. I recently updated my Transparency! Version to 2.11 (Camelot 9.11) and have now noticed that Movies and TV Shows (as well as Videos) are available as Menu items. I use to only use Videos as that is all that was available in the previous version I had.
Video Files
Within this, I have added 2 sources being Movies and TV Shows which both map to respective directories on my PC. These show all of the Movies and TV Series that I have on my PC. So it is a matter of selecting e.g. Menu > Videos > Movies > Iron Man, to view a film.
Video Library
Now correct me if I am wrong here: I have noticed that both Movies and TV Shows are available to add as Menu items and that these both point to XBMC – Videos – Library. I have also noticed when I select Movies from the Menu, that it takes me directly to my listing of movies and if I browse back it them gives me my old familiar list of being able to select a film by Genres, Title, Year, etc. Which is great.
What is the difference between Video Files and Video Library?
My issue is that all of my Movies and TV Shows are appearing via Video Files, but only some are appearing by Video Library. I have also noticed via the Library it has added some weird TV Shows with the Titles listed as garbage text e.g. font-weight:bold}.showtimes.time{color: Why is this? I have chosen XBMC > Settings > Videos > Library > Clean Library... but this doesn’t fix or update the listing, neither does Scanning The Library to Scan for New Content.
As Video Library has better Movies Search option e.g. Genres, Title, Year. I would prefer to use it as opposed to Video Files, in which case I can remove Videos as an option from the Menu. What can I do to get Video Library working properly?
Thanks,
natepiet
