4.After entering the web UI interface, select your preferred display language. Here, we use Simplified Chinese as an example.

17.Click "Add Media Library".

Select the content type. The display name can be modified as needed.

Select the folder where the movies are stored. You can select multiple folders.

If the folder names are messy or disorganized, you can check this option.

Put all scraped metadata into the same folder, as it makes it easier to organize and transfer data. Click "OK" to complete the setup, and the media library will begin scanning.
