I've tried adding movies into the Movie Library in the media centre in new
beta 2 version of vista but every time I try it doesn't add the movies in.
The folder contains a mixture of MPEG and avi files (divx and xvid) including
one wmv file. It works fine in Windows Media Player but I can't get the
Movie Library in Media Centre to update. The music works fine and I've been
able to connect to a network drive in this but no such luck with the movie
library. Anyone else had a similar problem and know of a solution?

You are not the only one. I am having the same issue. What's weird is that
These very same movies added just fine under MCE 2005 without issue. I added
the folder as a watched folder in Media Player and the movies are found and
loaded just fine...complete with previews/thumbnails. All codecs are
installed, else Media Player wouldn't show them.

When I add the folder under Media Center, it just comes back and says there
were no movies found...at all. I have over 300 movies in the folder
including Xvid, Divx, WMV, MPEG, etc. It finds NONE of them. What gives?
