Hello,

I am new here.
After much searching I found out that our new home HTPC had a mediacenter software in it whith no commercial phone support.
It appears that this is the right place to ask questions.


1)
First question is how the menus can be changed.
Our technical skills are ok, my elder sun knows comuters pretty well.

Right now I have this kind of folder structure:
>Main-folder>Movies
>Main-folder>Kid movies
>Main-folder>Animated (not for kids, like Futurama or Anime)

I got the impression that when you add movies to the library, they are get in the same library, like mixed up. I am not sure if I am correct or if I am mistaking.

Is it possible to run in Library mode, but seing three above folders and then choose which folder to go into and then see the coverart?
Or do I have to make new menus, similar to "Movies", but "Kid movies" and "Animated" and then link each folder to each of these menus?



2)
My son has an Xbox controller, looks like this:
http://www.xbox.com/sv-SE/hardware/x/xbox360universalremote/

I had to buy this device to make it work on our Computer:
http://www.xbox.com/sv-SE/hardware/x/xbox360wirelessgamingreceiver/

I understood that since the remote controller is for the same brand as our mediacenter software, they would be able to talk to eachother, which isn't the case here.
Almost nothing works.

What have I done wrong?


Thank you in advance

Hello again,

I realize that I might have asked something that was already asked before.
This was not my intention and sorry for that.

But if I did, then please at least guide me into the right direction. The XBMC isnt really that easy, a bit tricky actually.
But I am sure I can make it.

Thank you in advance
