How to add VIDEO files?

Postby mudsharkymon » Sat Feb 18, 2012 1:00 am

I upgraded to 4.6 and under SETTINGS > Media Folders I added the path to the videos I have. SubSonic rebuilt indexes but I do not see a way to access videos.

Any ideas?

I donated quite sometime ago so after u/g I should see the full video-capable system w/o having to re-donate I assume.
Attached is a screen-shot showing how the paths are setup. Music works, Video doesn't.
If I understand what you're saying, I should expect to see videos mix in with the albums? That seems an odd way to display content, mixed together like that!
Either way all the albums show perfectly well but no videos are to be found.
For example, in this excerpt from the left column (albums) I'd expect to see "A Clockwork Orange" but it's not there. (Neither is it listed under "A".)

I *did* have a problem a few years back with SubSonic where I tried an upgrade, didn't like it and rolled back to the 3.x version and in the process had some skin problems. Maybe that's what's going on here!

Subsonic is for some reason not seeing your video folder.
When you have more than 1 folder in settings/Media Folders you should see a drop down box in the left frame above
"Shortcuts" with your folders listed.
These also makes it easy to separate your Simpsons from your Steely Dan :)
Try temporarily adding another music folder and see if you can make SS refresh.
Also try stopping and restarting SS.

Due to the confusion from too many genres of music, we have decided to put both country music and rap music into the genre of Crap music.

Adding another folder (Music2) as a test and refreshing the browser window worked. (I bet I had only to refresh the browser!)

Thanks folks!
