OSMC’s scrapers will attempt to add the files from your sources
to your library. This means that the files in your shared folder
must follow the naming conventions described in Adding Files to
your Library on page53.
If the scraper cannot find information about the file, OSMC does
not add the file to your library. However, you can still use the
Videos file browser to access any files that were not added.
The most common cause of problems when creating SMB shares
and adding them to OSMC is user permissions. If you cannot
connect to your share, or cannot see the files inside it, then check
the user account permissions on your PC or Mac. If necessary,
you can delete a source and start over.
To delete a source:
1. On the OSMC Home screen, point to Videos, and
then click Files.
