I've got a problem with my library, and haven't found an answer anywhere. I'm on a windows computer, running Windows 7 Home Premium. Minimal other programs, just anti virus as this is a dedicated media unit.
I just installed Gotham, and hooked said computer to the tv. All my movies and television shows, and photos, and music are on a WD MyCloud NAS. The folders are simply television, movies, pictures, and music. Within each folder there are folders for each album, movie, television show. Within those folders, if necessary, there are folders for season one, season two, etc.
I have kept the skin that was installed with the setup. (I forgot the name.)
Whenever I add new movies or shows, I open the menu to the left of the screen, and click on refresh library. This results in maybe 20 percent of my movies showing double listings. Of that group of doubles there is maybe 20 percent that are placed into "collections" that are simply two instances of the same file. The remaining doubles are not placed into "collections", but doubled in the main list. I have tried cleaning the library, it doesn't work. I have deleted and re installed XBMC, and get the same issue. I have deleted the entire library, renamed the folders holding all the media, changed the path, and have the same problem. So, anyone have a fix?
I also have an issue that some files have been scraped, and produced a thumbnail with the correct title, but the folder shows empty. No, it is not empty on the NAS, but the files are flv files. Is this a problem?
Since I'm a newbie, I hope someone can provide an answer. I did read many posts about library doubles, but no one had my problem, so a new thread.
Thanks in advance,
