It is a bit tricky to replace those values. What you can do is:
1. Use the Replace with function under Tools -> Preferences -> Folders
Paths will stay as they are, but such things as Play function will take the modified version of the path.

2. Prepare an Excel or CSV file with title(s) and new paths and maybe year and import this file overwriting existing values.

The first option does not seem to make a difference.
I have also tried exporting to csv and xml and importing but without sucess. I have tried csv, csvdb, xls, xlsx, xml. Is there a particular procedure I should be following?

Support / Changing file path
« on: October 29, 2010, 12:09:41 am »
Hi, I setup some films with a network file path and want to change them to a local file path as my pc has changed. So for example \\media-pc\g\rambo.m2ts would become g\rambo.m2ts. I have tried scanning for changed paths but this doesn't work. There are about 400+ films like this so manual editing would take too long. I was hoping that the films were stored in a file somewhere in text format and that I could do a find & replace to remove the \\media-pc parts from the file in one go. How do I go about this?

Support / Re: Any practical limit on PVD database size?

Rick. I checked it out and 16 EiB is 16 x 1024 x 1024 Terabytes which is about 16 million Terabytes so you should have enough room left for all your favorite Holoport adventures.

Support / Problems opening database
« on: September 13, 2009, 12:56:33 am »
I have an error opening up PVD 0.9.9.11 on Windows XP SP2 & also on Vista 64 SP1.
The 1st error message:  "Failed To Open Database"
followed by 2nd error message: "File is not a valid database. Connection Authorization Failure. Error Code 3"
The file opens fine after rebooting. Then it causes the above error again.
I have had this problem before but got rid of it by saving the file as another file or creating a new file and restoring a backup.
After this error PVD opens a blank window and takes a long time to shut down.
The errors occured on both occasions after creating a new database in the same folder ("C:\Documents\Personal Video Database"). This time I also deleted 50 entries prior to the problem occuring.
I thought the problem might have been corruption of the database but the same error occurs with backups and another, smaller database.
I was going to uninstall PVD so as to do a clean install but I don't know how to do this.
My best guess is that PVD is not closing down properly and that it is still in the system memory so that when the new instance is opened it thinks that the database is still in use.
