Video files "Home Video" and "Movies"
« on: October 12, 2013, 02:48:48 pm »

Hello,

I have several movies and home videos located in different folders. I go to files/library/import... "Configure Auto-Import". There I add the folder containing my movies and the folder containing my personal home videos, but when it scan the library it add all the videos files to the "Movies" category and I cannot find how to separate my personal videos to the "Home Videos" and all my movies into the "Movies" category.

Did you configure the rules to say that the [media subtype] field must be auto-filled to read Home Video for the home video folder, and to read 'Movie" for the movie folder?

See this thread for help.

Thanks,  I didn't configure any rule.  Could you help me create one?

I need to put //server/movies into the Movies category
And //server/familyvideos into the Home Videos category

Since your paths are unique for the two different media sub types, you can add two paths to Auto-Import (Tools > Import > Configure Auto-Import).  Add a path for: //server/movies, and at the bottom, select the Add button and then select Media Sub Type: Movie.

Do the same for the other path, but this time select Custom, select Media Sub Type from the Field, and Set the Value to be Home Video.

You may already have a path configured in Auto-Import, so it might be that you can just edit that path.
