SOLVED: New Libraries are Empty

[topaz024]

Hi all,

- My first library works perfectly:
  'Movies' library:
  c:\movies\
  c:\movies\christmas
  c:\movies\horror
  (^all of the above appear in the 'movies' library)

- I created a new specific library for the subfolder:
  'Christmas' library
  c:\movies\christmas

- Christmas library has the exact same settings as the 'Movies' library, but is completely empty in the client
- Christmas library movies appear perfectly in Administration-->Metadata Manager
- Tried rescan all, still nothing


Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Nested folders are not supported:
Library 1:
/path/to/media
Library 2:
/path/to/media/more


Needs to be:
Library 1:
/path/to/movies
Library 2:
/path/to/Christmas movies

thank you kindly for the response--it worked!
i must say it is triggering my obsessive digital orderliness to put multiple genre-based folders in my root directory 😄

If you move the movies from the main movies folder to a movies subfolder, then each folder doesn't have to be in the root directory:

  c:\movies\movies\
  c:\movies\christmas\
  c:\movies\horror\

Then point each library to the correct path, and nothing is nested.

thanks so much, i'll try it!
