yep... pretty annoying...
hidden folders (folders which begin with an . ) won't appear in SiB in the folder choose window...
so you can't access the .video folder.
you have to create a new folder under MyDocs which isn't hidden and place the videos there till the file-browser in SiB shows hidden content too.
edit: even though it says that subfolders will be scanned too - it doesn't do anything with .hidden folders. :/

edit2: you can modify the config-file of sibplayer too.
it's located under ~/.config/sibplayer/SiBPlayer.conf
go there with x terminal and use vi to change the path manually.
(for further instructions on this second way please ask because i think the first way is the better one OR this bug with not showing hidden folders gets eliminated in the next version of SiB)

SEE POST BELOW FOR BEST SOLUTION ^^
