Movie set information folder and sources.xml - Hazuki - 2021-10-02

Hi all,

I'm having a bit of a problem setting up the Movie set information folder.
I want to store all my movie set art on a server, but as SMB isn't working for me in kodi, I was hoping to get to the source using the sources.xml file.

I have a my movies and tv-shows on a nas and use the sources.xml to access them.

So now when I'm about to setup the Movie set information folder, I thought I'll just use the same approach.

I added it like so:

xml:
    <files>

      <default pathversion="1"></default>

      <source>

        <name>Movie Set Art</name>

        <path>smb://username:password@Server.com/share/</path>

        <allowsharing>true</allowsharing>

      </source>

    </files>

Then when I'm in settings > media > video and click on Movie set information folder the options that pop up don't include my Movie Set Art. So guessing that <files> is the wrong option here I looked at the wiki, but there doesn't seam to be any other option that will work.

Anyone got any got ides to how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

[edit]Sorry misread your post, will get back to you

Nothing to fix in my view, you won't see the art files directly in the Videos section as it's filtered to only show video files in the list of files.

As it's been added as

xml:
<files>

source details

</files>

then that's a File Mananger source, so if you go to the Kodi File Mananger you should see a source named Movie Set Art there, and File Manager will show all files within one of it's sources.

Looks like it needs to be added to mediasources.xml

in format:

xml:
<mediasources>

    <network>

        <location id="0">smb://username:password@Server.com/share/</location>

    </network>

</mediasources>

where id="value" must NOT have been already used, so if 0 is used make it 1, or if 1 is used make it 2 etc...etc
