Hey everybody!

I wouldn't think that my setup is very unique, but I can't find the info on this anywhere.

I've got a file structure as follows:

media/TV/show/season/
media/Movies/Movie

I've created a TV library and gotten it to sync between my two XBMC installations so far, so that if I navigate to Video -> TV Shows the library looks great and is in sync on both computers.

However, I would also like to be able to have library view when I use file navigation to browse media/TV, something that WAS possible before I wiped my libraries and started over with sync.

It doesn't seem like XBMC understands that media/TV is my TV Show library root when browsing there. And if I manually set the content of that folder to TV Shows (again), XBMC starts building a new library instead of just updating to show the old show information/thumbnails.

Any insight?

Do the Sources part of this: HOW-TO:Sync multiple libraries/Sync other parts of XBMC

You can make easy links to the XBMC wiki using double brackets around words: [[debug log]] = debug log, [[Add-on:YouTube]] = Add-on:YouTube, [[Adding videos to the library]] = Adding videos to the library, [[userdata]] = userdata, etc
