hi all
been testing out camelot beta 1 on laptop today, i have set a folder within my my videos folder for movies and it scrapes from imdb
when i go to videos i cant see my my videos folder
also, when i go to movies and look through the library everything is ok, but when i come out of the movies library and click on videos it takes me to video library (movies) again, so movies and videos are taking me to the same location i think
good thing i am only testing this on my laptop at the moment:p
hope someone can help

If you enable TV shows on home also, Videos will always take you to files mode.
(you can always untick library mode by pressing left to bring up the menu blade)

noticed on this confluence skin or whatever it is called that with videos you can hit the right arrow on the keyboard and you can select where you want to go, like movies, files and some other ones
before i was just hitting enter
i guess thats how it is going to have to be done now (right arrow and select files)
now just one more feature i want before i upgrade xbmc on the main computer
by the way, now that directx is in xbmc, will picture quality be better than before or the same as before? if the same what advantages does directx have

Because this is a Confluence design decision, unless you are using another (Confluence is the only skin you have mentioned), then it belongs there.

Yea I'm getting the same issue, when going to Videos it's taking me to the same place as Movies or TV Shows library mode instead of file mode.

OK
because this is the way that XBMC is designed to work clicking videos again takes you back to the last place you were in. As was and is done in every skin before people decided they might make direct links to TVShows and Movies.
NOW
In Confluence you need to enable both the TV SHows and Movies buttons in home, then the Videos Button will always take you to file mode. If you only have 1 of them enabled it will do the default behavour of going to the last place you have been, else you need to do 5 or more clicks just to get to your library

i hit the skin settings, i can hide or not hide movies but i dont have an option for tv shows, tv shows is faded out, i have also even tried to add some video files like simpsons and family guy
i think it scans for content and gets things but i have no tv show button to hit
