Once the scan process completed, you should see a new menu item „Films“. Now you can lean back and wait till Kodi gathered all information and graphics (covers, screenshots etc.). If a scan process starts, you’ve done everything right. Next you will be asked, if you want to update information in this folder. Because you exactly know what you’re doing, you confirm this message with „Yes“ 🙂 In order to do this you select the folder and open the context menu (button C on keyboard) and select „define content“. Now it’s time to give Kodi the the information, that all films are located in the folder „Films“. So better to use SMB or NFS to access your drive within a network. Important note: network sources wich use UPnp can’t be scanned, because they’re using a dynamic path. My films are located on an external drive in a folder named „Films“. If your films are located on a network storage,you have to add them using the button „Add videos“. Within Kodi you look for video menu of the films. I recommend to lookup all of your films on this site to make sure the title is correct.įilms should be available in correct form now. „Avatar“, you will get some results and see how your folder for „Avatar“ has to be named and in wich year it was released. You should also visit this site to check how you need to name your folders correctly and avoid problems in film detection. It is a good idea to write the year of release after the film title, because there are different versions of e.g.
Spelling of film titles have to be correct so Kodi can recognize them. Therefore put all your movies in separate folders wich are named after the film title. Then the movie Avatar will be linked to the file blabla.mkv and when you play your video Avatar later, it will start playback of “blabla.mkv”. This means that the filename in your Folder „Avatar“ could be „blabla.mkv“ or whatever, in this case kodi will recognize everything. The filename of the video file is irrelevant. To detect the movie and its proper graphics and movie details, kodi verifies the folder name! It doesn’t matter wether the movies are located on an external usb drive or on a network-attached storage (NAS), it has to be the same structure. To make Kodi able to download the proper graphics (covers, screenshots etc.), your movies have to be arranged in a certain way. I assure that you will be thrilled by the results. Kodi is able to search for it by itself automatically. You may be sure, that you don’t have to look for covers and mmovie descriptions by yourself. In this tutorial I’ll show you how you tweak your movies with nice covers, wallpapers and movie descriptions. You have an unknown movie in you collection and before watching it, you want to check trailers of it without browsing on youtube?
While watching movies you want to know the name of a talented actor? You want to improve your movie collection with nice covers and wallpapers for each movie?
