Um... i asked you to repeat yourself to make sure i understood.. you said you can scan a dir from anywhere in the tree... so having star trek as the root dir shouldn't have affected it correct, if it was just a normal dir with no set content ever done on it...

Jyujinkai Wrote:No... I have the root dir set to nothing... but i have a custom thumbnail for it for file view mode....

I have teh content set to each show title.. eg deep space nine.... so it is ment to scann all the dirs under it.... isn't it?

spiff Wrote:content type is tvshowS. you need to tick 'this folder contains a single tvshow' if that is what they hold

Jyujinkai Wrote:each folder only has one tvshow? butr has teh season split into diffrent folders? Can't you set it t oscan recursively from a point IN a tree.. or dose it always have to be at the root?

spiff Wrote:........ read the bloody wiki.

yes you can.

you set the content to tv showS.

which means that IF you set the content on each show separately you'd have to tick separate show!
wherever you set the content to tvshowS without ticking, each subfolder of that folder is assumed to be a tvshow. do you get it nowConfused
