Multiple video

    This is silly question for sure somebody have already asked, please point me to the solution because I can't find it.

    The issue

    I own many DVDs and I created a digital backup for them using makeMKV.

    Each folder contains the file for the movie but also files for interview to the actors, trailers, ...

    When the source is added I chose "every movie is in its own directory". But the same movie appears repeated in the media center movies list as there would be many copies of the same movie. I would like to have the "normal" behaviour with a single press on the unique icon of the movie and the possibility to choose with a long press on it.

    Thanks

    I haven't got

    • Modify .kody/userdata/advancedsetting.xml to instruct kodi to ignore all the extra folder.

    OK. But then after?

    1. I start the movie I want to see;
    2. if it is an interview/trailer/whetever_extra I can use the GUI and kodi move it to the extra folder; (do I have to create myMovieFolder/*/extras folders?)
    3. go back to the movie list and try the next one.

    But kodi doesn't move the files on the server: I'm confused.

    Kodi is dependent on the structure you create, it will not restructure/move/tidy things up for you. So you need a consistent structure and then (via advancedsettings.xml, which you create if it doesn't exist) you map that structure by telling it where the extras folder will be (consistently, if you want consistent results).
