Re: XBMC config problem

["noel_pilot" <HA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you queried the info for anything in normal files view? I think
you have to do that before anything will appear in the library.

So navigate through a share, click info on any video let it query imdb
etc then it'll be in library.

That should work

successfully pulls all the details down from IMDB... it just seems to
point blank refuse to do this for the whole share when I do the "scan
