I am a total newbie when it comes to XBMC. Never owned a Xbox or have ever set up a HTPC before.
Stumbled into this forums today at work and was blown away with XBMC and the Aeon skin in particular.
So when I got home I downloaded it and have been trying to set it up now for a while. Read the XBMC online manual and the readme for the Aeon skin but I can't get the basic folder configuration to work!
What is the preferred folder layout to easily set up Aeon?
Today it's arranged as this:
Media - Movies - DVDr - Transformers - ***.img
- DVDrip - Transformers - ***.avi
- HD - Transformers - ***.mkv
- Series - Heroes - Season 1 - ***.avi
You get the idea?
Tried to set up sources.xml like this..
For example:
<video>
<source>
<name>Movies</name>
<path>E:\Media\Movies\DVDrip</path>
</source>
</video>
The problem is that now when I enter "Movies" in Aeon, I see the "add **" button and the movie folder. I do not want to see the add button.
Tried to switch to Library. Got: "No scanned info for this view. Switch to files".
Also now when I set it up this way, when entering "TV Shows", I get "Add source" and "Movies".. I don't want to see the movies in the TV section.
Adding:
<video>
<source>
<name>TV Shows</name>
<path>E:\Media\Film\Serier</path>
<name>Movies</name>
<path>E:\Media\Film\DVDrip</path>
</source>
</video>
Didn't help.
Can someone please lay out the basic strategy for me because I'm getting frustrated!
How does your setup and source.xml look like?
..Never been this retarded computerwise as I am today
