I currently have one hard drive for movies and another for TV shows. Each one shows as a separate tab on the sidebar by their respective type. Works great…for now. However, I’ll soon have to add a second movie drive as I’m filling up the old one. As a test, I pushed a few movies to the TV show drive and then added that folder to my library as “movies”. As I feared, it created a new sidebar tab and did not merge the movies together. Is there a way to show all movies as one library? Note I run a Mac/OS X so Drive Bender or Drive Pool (utilities that make multiple drives appear as one) will not work for me. Is there a way to do this or will I have to treat each drive as a separate libraries and deal with it?

Thanks!

On the left side of your Dashboard, hover over the Library (movies) and you will see the ellipsis exposed.

Click the ellipsis. The drop-down will appear.

Click Edit.

To to `Add Folders` and add the new location you wish included in that Library section.

Save the changes

Never mind…I found my answer. (For others, when you add a library [or edit an existing one] the step that asks you to add folders will let you add more than one)
