Yes, but they're not documented. Try looking through this thread and/or take a look at pms-mlx.

And does it work with the newest PMS server today?

[chocolateboy]

take a look at pms-mlx

What's the question? I don't get what you're trying to do.

What's the question? I don't get what you're trying to do.

I have 3 harddrives with movies.... And I want to get them all under one subcategori in PMS....

[taconaut]

Ok, then back to quating

take a look at pms-mlx

Navigate to Media Library -> Tree -> right click where you want to add the folder -> Add File System Folder -> Configure the folders to share ->

[kiptanoi]

Thanks, I got it working now..... But I can see a problem....
It cant read rar format....
For example:
One movie I have in rar format, the original PMS can stream out that movie...
But this PMS-MLX version can only stream out the sample movie... It cant find any movie inside the rar files....

And I really enjoy this feature there is when it can stream movies from rar format, so I dont has to unrar all my movies...
But the other stuff was cool, to get info from IMDB and so on =)

[taconaut]

Rars are supposed to work when using file System folders; i'm not using it though. I don't think it makes sense to import videos inside rars when scanning for videos. It makes the process slower and I guess people unpack their stuff if they want to keep it!?

[kiptanoi]

I guess I has to go with PMS and use it as it is.... :/
