I know, but that means waiting between each video and watching the spinning wheel while the drives wake up. Easier to have them all in 1 drive that's already up to speed and not cause more delays. Even now if the movie I choose is on a sleeping drive there's no way that XBMC or CE cue ahead to get the video ready and wake up the sleeping drive.
It's a cool feature that will work for some. Even adding the trailers to folders which can be scraped is something I didn't know before and might look into. But for CE I'm going to still use just 1 folder. Well 2, one for 2D and 1 for 3D. This way I can limit the trailers it has to select from as well, only keeping the ones I really enjoy seeing in the CE environment and not needing to see Hannah and Her Sisters before watching The Terminator, or something like that.
