If I look in the dropbox folder they are all .mpgs, I thought they were supposed to be .strm files.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

You probably have the same issue I do. Set up your sources to be smb sources in XBMC, then set the dropbox path to be a unc path. Be sure that the paths are the same letter case (assuming you're running Dharma). See my issue above for a better explanation.

Yes running Dharma. For some reason I cannot add the smb source. When I go to browse and select SMB, it shows my ASROCK-PC which is the same computer that XBMC and XBMC.MyLibrary are running on.

But there are no folders under that. I tried to just type smb://ASROCK-PC/Dropbox/Movies/ as a source, but it says it cannot find the source.

In the config.xml I put \\ASROCK-PC\Dropbox, but it did not work.

Any thoughts? Thanks for the help.

EDIT: If I just type \\ASROCK-PC in Windows Explorer, it is blank. If I try to type \\ASROCK-PC\Dropbox, Windows cannot find the folder (it exists as C:\Dropbox). Do I not have some network setting correct?

did you create a share? You need to create a share on your machine for the dropbox and for the downloaded dropbox for it to be accessible via smb or unc.

I've fixed this problem. But the problem of MPGs instead of STRMs is still there.

I have my <dropbox> set to \\ASROCK-PC\Dropbox\

I have my sources set to smb://ASROCK-PC/Dropbox/Movies and smb://ASROCK-PC/Dropbox/TV Shows

Everything scans and scrapes into XBMC, but can't play anything.

Any ideas?

Just did. Realized my problem after I posted. Thanks.

Alright one last question....

I've added some movies to my Instant Queue on netflix. What do I have to do to update XBMC now?

I've run XBMC MyLibrary again, but it doesn't seem to add the new movies/tv shows.

Thanks,
Tim

I can't help there. Not a netflix user. I think there's the startings of a "how to add xyz sources to MyLibrary" in the works.

- TheCasa - 2011-12-17 07:20

@bradvido thanks! Everything works now!! This is exciting.

If you need help putting together a "how to xyz source" document, I'm willing to help in whatever way I can.

I've deleted the .db's in /res and cleared out the dropbox. It will then rescan my netflix queue and add everything. But if I make subsequent changes, it doesn't do anything.

Here is my log:
