Type the name you wish to search, then click Done, and you'll be given a list of options to choose from. If it picks up the wrong title, you can either change the file name to match the scraping database entry (full title and year can help), or select the offending title, hit i on the keyboard, choose Refresh and then hit the Manual button.
Take in mind that scraping is done based on the file name. Kodi scans your libraries to see if it can recognize files. Highlight it, press c on the keyboard, and you'll be able to edit or remove the source. In the example above, we set it to movies, so we'll see a "Movies" entry here. To change an existing media source, head back to Files under the appropriate section (let's use the Videos section again), and you'll see that you have an existing source depending on the media type you selected earlier.
Setting the media type allows you to scrape relevant information automatically. Browse to where your videos are stored, hit OK, then change the up and down buttons to select what type of media is in that folder.įor instance, if it's movies, Kodi can scrape information from The Internet Movie Database, automatically pulling down art, synopses, ratings, genres, actor details and more based on the file name. To add your video files to Kodi, it's as simple as selecting the appropriate section (say, Videos), then selecting Files, Add Videos. Now that your media center PC is up and running, here's how to get everything just the way you like. Last time, we introduced the open-source media player software Kodi and went through the install process and hardware setup.
