# Find a video
Once the drive is mounted, just browse.
## How
1. Open **Browse**
2. Pick a mount
3. Open folders like a file manager
Each file can be **played** directly or **added to the library**.
## Cannot find anything?
- **Empty folder**: check the [mount](/en/guide/mount) connection
- **Will not play**: browsers handle mp4 and webm best. mkv depends on the browser. Convert the file or try another browser
- **Ugly file names**: fine for playback. For posters and titles, [scan into the library](/en/guide/library) or [identify the show](/en/guide/scrape)
## Browse vs library
| | Browse | Library |
|--|--------|---------|
| What you see | Real folders on the drive | A tidy show list |
| Good for | Quick look | Regular shows, resume |
| Source | Mounted files | Scanned items |
Both can play. Browse is the file view; library is the show view.
