crashkelly 62 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Hey there, Check out http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/674-media-files-folders-structure/ and see if it answers some of your questions. Personally, I have multiple drives in my library and I do create folders on those drives for the type of media and then create UNC shares for them F:\TV\ would become \\main\TV_1$ G:\TV\ would become \\main\TV_2$ H:\Blu-Rays\ would become \\main\Blu-Rays_1$ I:\Blu-Rays\ would become \\main\Blu-Rays_2$ I just made up the above as an example and you can create whatever names you would like. The "$" at the end hides the share from browsing it through Windows Explorer although it is still accessible if you know the name Hope that helps Cheers CrashKelly Edited November 25, 2014 by crashkelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
