Is there a way to have coustom folders in library mode? - humanman42 - 2011-12-24

So I have a few movie series that I would rather them show up in a folder rather then the being all over in the movies directory. For instance I have purchased like 30 rifftrax. I would like them to be in a folder named "Rifftrax" in the top directory in library mode. So it would be something like Movies/Tv/Rifftrax/Music.

Is this possible? If there is another way to do this?

any help would be great.

thank you

You could use 'sets' or smart playlists with a folder path... but with Eden, library mode and file mode are plenty close and have most of the same features, so a folder in file mode is going to look the same.

I think that this would be a worthwhile feature to add. I like sets, and I use them. There are just some things that have to many things in it to look nice as a set. I have like 40 rifftracks all completely different movies. So when in library mode it just a huge kind of WTF area in my library.

I wonder if there could be an add-on made for this. Since there are ones that are for roms and such, I dont think it would be too hard to reuse XBMC own code and whatnot to just add in an extra path in the content screen...

thanks for the help
