~/Test and ~/Test/.hidden
and some videos
~/Test/A.flv and ~/Test/.hidden/B.flv
When I added ~/Test/ to the MediaBox library and browsed my videos, A.flv showed up but B.flv did not. So I was wondering if the hidden directories could be the culprit here.

I don't think so, because of the way that the N8x0 (Hildon? GTK?) see these *particular* hidden directories.

If you open the N810's file manager, or any of the Hildon-native apps, you have the hostname in the left pane, which coordinates with /home/user/MyDocs. The icons beneath it work like so:

Code:

Audio clips ==> /home/user/MyDocs/.sounds
Documents ==> /home/user/MyDocs/.documents
Games ==> /home/user/MyDocs/.games
Images ==> /home/user/MyDocs/.images
Video clips ==> /home/user/MyDocs/.video

So either those specific directories or anything under MyDocs are considered special by the OS. Besides, the jpgs in .images and the mp3s and oggs in .sounds are being picked up by MediaBox, but not .video.
