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).

Content options

Movies

Set content.movies.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.

Scraper settings

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

Switching scrapers and removing sources from the 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 video library as removing entries from the contextual menu will only remove single items.
