    Provided all the Media is in the "My Videos" Folder, and WMP12 sees them in the library ..


    WMC should as well. In the section
    Pictures/Videos ---> Video Library

    This one is the same as the WMP one.

    Theres another for movies however:

    In the secion "Movie Library"
    Just right click anywhere in empty space and chhose 'manage library"
    Then manulally add the folders you want that library to have in it.

    thanks Wishmaster,

    Yep, that is the problem! WMC should see the same videos located at "My videos" library that WMP sess...

    In WMC's Pictures/Videos ---> Video Library there is nothing at all. WMC suggests going to Settings.---> Media libraries to add folders manually. However, I can see that "My videos" folder is already added by defau;t

    Strange, is not it?

    The weird thing is that in

    Tasks--->Settings.---> Media libraries
    If I attempt to add folders manuallyI can see that "My videos" folder is already added by default as I said before. However, when WMC lists in that menu the added libraries, the video library is not in the list, but yes the music and picture ones..

    I reall dont know what to do...
