Enable "Movies are in separate folders that match the movie title"

My last post to this thread. Your last video indicates that you didn't enable the setting I suggested.

your setup of files is a terrible mess!

make new folders for your videos like:

c:/movies/
c:/TV-Shows/

and copy your files there, so you have something like this for example:

c:/movies/skyfall/skyfall.1080p.ac3.bluray.mkv
c:/TV-Shows/Walking Dead/walking.dead.S01.E01.bluray.mkv

in xbmc go through video/files, look for these folders and press "C" on your keyboard and from the menue "change content" and set it to movies,TV-Shows, etc......

than press "C" and "scan new content" and you will see the magic.

Good luck

And still, people are not reading simply created wiki pages...

Couldn't be clearer.
