Can I maintain the directory hierarchy in the movie library?

View

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.

I have my movies organized into several subdirectories, to make it easy to search/browse (ie, /Videos/movies, /Videos/TV shows, /Videos/home movies, etc).

Is there any way to maintain this directory structure in the Movie Library? The media browser simply flattens it into a single list of all folders containing a VIDEO_TS folder, throwing out my organization.

I tried adding a file browser to the DVD player menu (even going so far as to drag the root folder to the menu), but that doesn't do much for me - I can browse the directory structure, but I can't do anything once I navigate to the VIDEO_TS folder (I can't tell DVD player to "play this folder").

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.

General

How do I navigate the Remote Buddy menu? (FAQ015E0170)
To navigate the menu, you can use the following button presses:
"Left" - up by one level in the menu
"Right" and "Play" - choose the current entry
"Left hold" - go to the main menu
"Plus" and "Minus" - scroll through the entries
"Menu hold" - jump to the first entry of the current menu
"Menu" - fade in/out the onscreen menu

Thanks for asking.

Right now, it is not possible to split up the built-in Video Library
by directory, sorry. It's an interesting idea, though.

Best regards,
