Hi all,
At the moment if i want to add stuff to the library i can see two methods..
select file/folder and scan content
or
leave the option on that makes xbmc scan for new content on startup
Both work fine, but both i think have disadvantages.
If i have to scan manually sort of speak i have to go out of library mode and scan movies or series folders manually (don't have music so thats not a prob),
then return to library mode and go back to the views i prefer (e.g. all movies sorted by title)
or
f i leave the option on to search for new content on startup it scans on every startup.
However i tend to add stuff in big chunks, i.e might add 10 movies and 10 different episodes once a fortnight in one go, sometimes more often, sometimes less often
My idea is a script that will simply scan all folders that are linked when used.
It would be great if this could able be added to skins as a button or something?
Or just linked into favourites if preferred.
Would this script be possible in XBMC? :confused2:
Thanks all, never tried scripting so may give it a go myself if get chance.
