I have installed a rack and tray system on my MC PC - allowing me to manually swap hard drives.

I have mapped each external hard drive (different drive letters) within MC - when I insert a tray into the system - the contents are available for selection under "My Videos" (only video content on the drives).

However - only the drive currently inserted in the system displays under the content menu - the drives that are not mounted are not included in the content directory.

Is there a way to catalog all 'offline' content - so that if I select a specific movie - it will tell me that the content is off line and to load a specific drive tray?

I think that makes sense - Thanks!
