difference between movies and videos? - shmish - 2008-11-29 Hi, What is the intended difference between Movies and Videos with regards to xbmc? It's not clear to me what the "Movies" tab is for, is it for playing local discs? thanks - tvdb-scott - 2008-11-29 Are you using the MediaStream skin? The menu items are specific to the skin that you're running. I believe Aeon lists Clips, Movies, and TV whereas MediaStream lists Videos, Movies, and TV. Personally, I use TV Shows for all of the TV shows that I keep or have many of (basically anything with more than 1 complete season on my media server). Movies is self-explanatory. Then Videos gets used for all of the recent episodes that I won't load into the library and won't save for more than a couple weeks (most stay on only a day or two). This makes it easy to find the recent episodes I need to watch and separates out the movies and tv shows that I'll be watching later. - shmish - 2008-11-29 Ok, I thought Movies must be meant for something else because when I click on it I get a message saying "No scanned information for this view Switch to the Files view" I guess that's a different issue though. thanks - gabbott - 2008-11-29 you need to scan your sources into the library before anything will be shown in library view - shmish - 2008-11-30 Hmm, I don't know where I should scan sources for Movies? The Setup menu doesn't have a Movies sub-section with a Library tag. - tvdb-scott - 2008-11-30 Oops. When I came back looking for this, I realized it was in the MediaStream forums. Oops. - ads_german - 2008-11-30 shmish, you'll find all the detailed instructions you need in the xbmc user manual wiki, in particular, see http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Video_Library and http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Videos_Navigation_and_Control#The_Context_Menu, but in nutshell, setup is easy if you:
in any section (tv, movies or videos), you can switch between library and file mode at any time, but by default, tv & movies will launch in library mode, and videos in file mode. The online user manual should answer any other questions you have... Cheers, Adam. - sho - 2008-11-30 szsori Wrote:Oops.
