A new window will appear, offering you the opportunity to locate an existing directory that contains video files. To select this directory, click ‘OK’ after your selection is made.
Please return to the previous window and assign a name to the new video source that you are adding.
To add a personal touch, enter a personalized name for your new folder. You can create folders according to whatever criteria you desire; be sure to click ‘OK’ when finished. As an example, if you’re adding movies you could enter the name ‘Movies’.
A window entitled “Set Content” should now be visible. In this window, enter a description of the content you are attempting to add. To begin, click on the dropdown menu labeled “This directory contains” located within the window, and select a category from the available options such as Movies, Video Clips, and TV Shows.
At the bottom of the window, you will notice various options. You can leave everything as is and click ‘OK‘ to exit this window; no additional values need to be entered.
Kodi users will now be presented with a warning informing them that the content type of an entire folder is set to change. By clicking “Yes,” Kodi will begin scanning and updating the library automatically.
