Hi all, I'm really new to the Pi and xbian and I am struggling with how you get xbian to display all the movie artwork and stuff in the sexy way you see in most setups. Whe I go to the 'video' section all I can do is just list the content of my usb hdd in a boring old file explorer way. I seem to have the scrubbing add ons all ready.

Can anyone help or point me to a noob guide. I've been trying to find a answer myself but can't seem to find anything.

Hi Jontp,

welcome to XBian!

Let's have a look on the XBMC wiki: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=XBMC_Quick_Start_Guide#Adding_videos_to_the_library
There you can see in detail how to setup your movie library.

You can also add any directory as source via the context menu. (press "c" to open)


If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Oh ok thanks. I thought I needed to look for something more specific to xbian. Brilliant I am now up and running.

Is there anyway to make the USB hdd the primary storage device for add ons etc?
