Can I also add DivX/AVI/MOV files to the built-in movie library and not just VIDEO_TS folders? (FAQ015E0200)
Yes. All you need to do is to install VLC and organize your files in a given folder structure. It's also possible to add covers then. If, for example, you want to add the file MyMovie.avi, the folder structure should look like this:
```
Title of my movie/VIDEO_TS/MyMovie.avi
Title of my movie/File with Cover.jpg
```
You can add movies that are split up into several files the same way. The folder structure then looks like this:
```
Title of my movie/VIDEO_TS/MyMovie part 1.avi
Title of my movie/VIDEO_TS/MyMovie part 2.avi
Title of my movie/VIDEO_TS/MyMovie part 3.avi
Title of my movie/File with Cover.jpg
```
The names of the movie- and coverfiles are freely choosable - you only need to make sure the suffix fits the format of the file. Supported formats for cover files include JPEG, PNG and GIF.

In Remote Buddy's menu, you can then start playback of your movies complete with existing covers in the context menu of the VLC Behaviour.

Hello Timothy,

thanks for your posting.

"Busy" is displayed as long as Spotlight takes to finish its initial
gathering of VIDEO_TS directories. Depending on the speed of your
system, this can take a few seconds or a while. It will automatically
become enabled as soon as Spotlight has finished its initial result
gathering.

Best regards,
Felix

Hello Timothy,

it scans all external drives as well, unless you have disabled
Spotlight for them (whereby network drives are to be considered a
third, different case due to the way Spotlight is currently working
in Tiger). In fact, I have developed this feature with the sample
VIDEO_TS folders on an external drive.

Best regards,
Felix
