Compatible Controllers for LibreELEC 9.2.6, KODI 18.9.0, Rpi 3b

1st Official Post

    After repeated attempts to populate the KODI library from a USB harddrive, I suspect that I need to try another controller. (Using the Logitech K400). I can "Enter Files Section" click on a drive which displays directories, click on a directory which opens and displays more directories or files and play a media file -- but I cannot seem to find a way to select a directory in order to add it to the library. (Configuration: LibreELEC 9.2.6, KODI 18.9.0, Rpi 3b.) I'm new to this (but think I am following instructions as closely as possible.)

    Define (separate) source folders for Movies and TVshows, then you set the content type for each source and the scraper settings. Then (only then) do you scan the souurce to scrape content into the library views.

    The Kodi wiki has good tutorials on scraping.

    Thanks much for the quick reply! I found the skins and switched back to the one I'm used to from long ago (Confluence) -- was able to get this done in about 15 minutes. Estuary was just to different for me :)
