How to correct paths of movies?
« on: December 25, 2013, 02:14:43 pm »
I have moved some movies and tv series and split and moved them to two new paths (from y:\ to v:\ and w:\)

How can I tell PVD what happened?
I tried to use the tool that finds movies. It ignores everything that was on Y: and does not find it in the new locations.
I tried to edit manually and select the correct path. It lets me select it, but does not save it.

Using the file scanner is the correct way of handling such situations.

Have you selected new paths for scanning?

Thats strange. Maybe it adds the new path instead of switching. Try clearing the file path edit field and select the correct files again.

Yes. It finds all other new files without problem. It seems to be the problem, that the old Y: is not accessible anymore.

Yes, that worked (edit -> delete old entry, add new one). Thx :)

But I do not want to do that for about 100 files (mostly tv series)...:(

It's very strange.
After I mounted some bogus to Y: the scanner found about 90% of the files and changed the path

BUT it did not find all of them. Any way to debug this for me?
