Move Media update location PVD

(1/2) > >>

jhackneyiv:
I have been moving my media files to different hard drive and I need to manually update the location.  I use the tool to find which movies are missing and PVD finds that but is there any way to update in bulk the new location of the movie files.  I am getting a NAS to hold my movies and I would like to move them all at once.  When I use the button scan folders to find new movies/changed paths all it seems to find is movies not in the database.  Am I using that button wrong?  Thanks in advance.

nostra:
If movies records have files defines and those files are moved to a new location, the File Scanner will detect the change and automatically update paths. You only need to select the right folder for scanning.

I have done the same thing you plan to do myself a couple of weeks ago and it worked perfectly for me.

jhackneyiv:
I must be doing something wrong.  I moved all the files from C:\Videos\moviename.m4v to H:\Videos\moviename.m4v.  I scanned both C:\Videos and H:\Videos and nothing shows up in the scanner?

nostra:
First: You do not need to scan C:\
Second: Do you have old paths in movie records?
Third: What are your File Scanner settings?

jhackneyiv:
I have old Files location in records.  I haven't added anything beyond the default file scanner settings. I figured what was in there was enough. In my current setup for the movie (Alice In Wonderland) the file is named AliceInWonderland.m4v. That is how all of them are.
