I have a bit of an issue with my setup that I can't seem to resolve. I was able to add networked folders from my main PC to my XBMC but now they will not seem to update. I have tried enabling update on startup and manually updating the folders, but no luck. I am using the backrow skin and I am wondering if it is somehow hiding an option I need to access in order to make this work?
Thanks for all your help, I did many searches trying to resolve this but was not able to find a solution.

After you added the folders did you set the content type?

In XBMC. After you add a source folder look down in the OSD menu. You should see the option for setting the content.

Thank you very much, I will check that out tonight when I get home. I love XBMC but it was bugging me to no end that I couldn't figure out a way to view my new content. Thank you again. |

I got home today and tried everything I could, the folders content was already set to movies. I tried removing the folders and then adding them again, but they still only had the movies in them that they had originally. I went through and made sure I had shared the folders correctly through SMB and that all looked good. I am sure I am missing something ridiculously simple, but I am just stumped.
I should also add that XBMC is able to scrape the folders and get the information for the movies that were there originally. I have also tried deleting the network location and then adding it from the SMB option in the add video's menu. I tried to delete the entire SMB section but it wouldn't let me (right click didn't do anything)

Log moved to pastebin.
I can post the whole thing if I need to, just figured this might be what you were looking for?

From looking thru the log it seems like you have some strangely named folders. For example "XVID.MIC.AC3-5.1.HQ.Hive-CM8 - Copy" In your content settings, do you have "Movies are in separate folders that match the movie title selected?". Also why is this folder being scanned for videos "smb://ALEX-PC/Utorrent Downloads/Complete Fonts - Honest/"?

I will move the fonts torrent, we use torrents to move some of our graphic design stuff. So there is a smattering of that in there. |
