Tried that same thing happens.

The scanner won't work miracles. You'll have to change your file/pathnames so it can understand them, or revise the regex in the scanner configuration so they will be recognized. Please see this post for more information.

The simplest solution is to change the pathnames to V:\Movies\[Title] ([Year]).avi. Including the year with the (correct) title will normally ensure a successful IMDb search.

Hi,
I am very grateful for all the help that I am being given here and I am sorry that I keep asking for help.

I think that we may have gotten a bit lost here.

What I am asking is when I scan my Hard Drives the program is not bringing in some of my movies that are in folders.

The odd thing is some have but not all of them.

Cheers

Please take the time to consider the answer I've already provided.

The default default scanner configuration includes the regex (?i)^.*\\(?P<title>.*)\\.{0,2}\..{3,4}. Loosely translated... if the filename begins with 0-2 of any character followed by a "." and then 3-4 of any character, the parent directory name will be identified as a title. So...

V:\Movies\Dirty Harry Movies\03.The Enforcer.avi
V:\Movies\Dirty Harry Movies\04.Sudden Impact.avi
V:\Movies\Dirty Harry Movies\05.Dead Pool.avi

...are the three parts to the movie title "Dirty Harry Movies." This will also match episodes named in this fashion, matching them all to one series. Organize files by episode would then be used to match them to episode records for that series. It's preferable, however, that episode names include some variant of "S00.E00" to specify season and episode numbers. Then they will be matched directly to the correct episode record.

If you don't want filenames of this pattern to be recognized as such, delete that regex (and hope you never have to accommodate multi-part movies or episodes named in this fashion) or remove the numbers from the filenames (which don't seem to serve any useful purpose anyway).
