Hello,
I'm using the placeholders for having my DVD collection in XBMC (creating a dvd.disc file with information about the DVD number and where it is).
For example:
I would like to do something similar with media in external disks that aren't connected all the time (I have a Sharkoon SATA base where I can plug 1 of my 5 external discs). I've created a directory with mount points to the drives, like this:
It works great while the disk is connected. If I disconnect the disk, then a simple "Update Library" command deletes all the entries for movies in the disconnected disk.
So, my question is: is it possible to mark a movie as "permanent"? (i.e. I don't want it to be removed from the library if XBMC doesn't found it while doing the update process). If not, is it possible to achieve my idea using another trick?
Thank you very much.
