Hi guys,

Adding and removing folders to Video Library does't work. All I see is my hard dives with all folders on them. I can't add or remove anything. It used to work before but when I removed folders my entire hd showed up there. Also when I switch to folder with divx files and media center started loading thumb nails it crashed media center all the time. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Thanks

I have exactly the same issue!! It seems to have a mind of its own with regard to which folders to monitor. I tell it what i want and it completely ignores me.

I can still access my media because the first folder will be an ugly "local drive c" and i can navigate my way through, but i do wish i could make it look nice and clean the way it did in XP

in picture library I have local disk (C:) and I dont want this, it is not in my library settings

how can i remove it?

Same here.  Anyone know what's going on?

Well I finally figured some fixes for this. All this Photos, Music, Vides, etc..  is stored in the "media player" folder for your user account. It's just like the db for the music in MCE 2005.  You can wipe it clean by removing all the files in C:\Users\<username>\Local Settings\Microsoft\Media Player\

Issue # 1 with fix: I see root drives in pictures&videos (c:\, d:\, e:\. etc...)
Exampe:
1) Add e:\photos to watch folder
2) e:\photos now showed up in media center
3) I stopped watching e:\photos (removed it as a watch/monitor folder)
4) e:\ shows up now as the folder

So either this is a bug or what they MS decided to do. If you add a folder and then stop watching it, media player/center will still retain all the data in the library, just the path will no longer be monitored.

FIX: (this may not stay fixed though.. since this is a monitored folder, it may add the files after time)

1) Open Media Player
2) Click the  icon below the  "left arrow" button on the top left..
3) You can now change between music, pictures, videos, recorded tv and shared media.
4) Click on whatever media you want to remove from the library.. my example was pictures..
5) Click on FOLDER (sub item under library)
6) I know see e:\ (from the example at top)
7) click delete (and make sure to click the option that says remove from library ONLY)

Now this will remove the media from that category, but I don't know if down the road it will readd them since these are "monitored" folders.

Here is another solution for a problem I had.
 
Problem: folder.jpg files displayed from my music folder in the photos category.

Solution:
1) Open media center
2) select Pictures view
3) go to library, folder
4) right click on  your music folder you added and click delete. (make sure to delete only from the library).
5) This WILL only remove the photos from the library and not your music since you are "Pictures" mode.
