Video shows up as folder

**IOIIOOO** · November 3rd, 2008, 02:32 PM

For some reason, some of my videos are showing up in the media library as a folder, with the video then inside. On my network, they are within the main video folder, not a subfolder.

For example, Futurama - The Beast with a Billion Backs.

On my system it is in //netvideos/movies/futurama - the beast with a billion backs.avi.

In Boxee, though, it a folder is shown under Movies named "Futurama - The Beast with a Billion Backs" and then when I go into the folder, it shows the video.

Another example - The Matrix. I have the movie saved as an .iso file named "The Matrix.iso". In Boxee it shows up as a folder (with the poster for the movie), and when I click the folder/poster, it shows a screen titled The Matrix, with the Poster/Movie within it, which I then have to select to bring up the play window.

I think you are misunderstanding me.

I currently have 50 movies on my network share hooked to Boxee. ALL are within the same single folder (named Movies).

48 of them show up normally - as videos with the cover art. ~2 of them, for some reason, are showing up in Boxee as folders, not movies, with the movies within the folder. One of those two has cover art on the folder that Boxee seems to think is there but doesn't exist. The other shows up as a blank folder with the movie inside.

How is that not a bug?
