Quick start - Adding Movies
So you have Media Companion installed and run the program, the large amount
of settings and tabs may be a little daunting. This page shows you the basic
procedure to be used in order to add movies.
When you start Media Companion for the first time, you will be presented with
something that looks much like this.
When first started, the Media Companion library will be empty, but this can be
quickly changed by following these steps.
1. Add your movie folders using the 'Folders' Tab, Media Companion is
recursive and will look within sub-folders for media, so just add the root
folders,
eg,
C:\Movies
You can add as many folders as you wish.
For this tutorial we will be using the left hand 'Movie Folders' panel, 'Offline Movie
Folders' are discussed in a later topic.
2 Once you have added your folders, then return to the 'Main Browser' tab, and
select the 'Search for new movies' tab. Media Companion will now search for
information about your files. The status bar at the bottom of the window will
keep you informed about the progress, and movies will be added to the main
list as they are scraped, as show in the image below.
That's all there is to it, and you can now start browsing your collection.
