Hi guys, have not used kodi for many years and could do with a bit of advice if thats okay.
Setup - iMac with local harddrive - Video files all stored locally.
I have a fresh install of Kodi with no plugins and have added a new source of video files, i have the content set to movies and the scraper set to local information only. On the home screen now under movies, it says that my library is empty although when i dive down through the files section i can see all my videos displayed perfectly.
The problem i have is i want to create some smart playlists based on a word contained inside each filename, i have tried to create some smart lists but they come up blank. I am assuming this is because although kodi can see and play my files it hasn't added to the DB?
Apologies if this is an obvious answer but i have tried searching forums to no avail.
