Adding videos to the library/Contents When you "Set Content", you can set your video content as Music Videos, Movies, or TV Shows. Scroll through the options until you get to the correct one. If you did not "Set Content" when you added a source, you can do so later by selecting the source and bringing up the contextual menu (C on a keyboard by default).

Movie content options

Quick-start-7.png

(Option) Movies are in separate folders that match the movie title Scan Recursively Selected Folder Contains a Single Movie
(Explanation) If you keep each of your movies in its own folder with the movie name in it If your movies are categorized into sub folders (e.g. genres, a-z). This option is intended exclusively for adding one movie at a time.
(Example) C:\Movies\Big Buck Bunny\Big Buck Bunny.avi


C:\Movies\Action\Big Buck Bunny.avi
C:\Movies\B\Big Buck Bunny\Big Buck Bunny.avi

'C:\Movies\Big Buck Bunny\Big Buck Bunny.avi'


If you keep all your movies in one big folder, like this:

C:\Movies\Big Buck Bunny.avi
C:\Movies\Big Buck Bunny II: Rise of the Lepus.avi

Then leave all options unchecked.

Options for content "None"

Exclude folder from scans
Excludes the selected folder from scans, even if it's a subfolder of a folder that has contents set.

Options After Selecting Scraper

Run Automatic Scan
Runs a scan against the selected information source (scraper) on all video files contained in the selected folder after selecting 'OK'
Movies are in separate folders that match the movie title
Supports using folder.jpg/fanart.jpg as the movie art, as well as more .nfo file reading. If no local information is found, will use the folder name to search when scraping, rather than the filename.
Folder contains a single Video
The standard assumption is that the source contains multiple video files. This option dictates that the selected source or folder contains only one video.
Folder contains a single TV Show
The standard assumption is that the source contains multiple TV shows. This option dictates that the selected source or folder contains only one TV show.
Scan Recursively
Scans subfolders two levels down or more for video files. Note that TV Show scrapers always scan recursively.
Exclude path from library updates
Excludes the selected path from scans, even if it's a subfolder of a folder that has contents set.

Scraper settings

Some scrapers like the IMDb scraper allow the user to change options related to that scraper, see more:

Switching Scrapers / Removing Folder Contents from Library

Setting the content back to <None> after previously having selected a scraper for a source, will prompt users if they want to remove the contents from the Library.
This is recommended if you wish to switch scrapers (first set content to <None> and then choose the new scraper).
Setting content to <None> also removes the contents of the selected folder from the Library altogether. This is useful if you want to remove the contents of an entire folder from the Library as The Context Menu will only remove single items.
