Movies with multiple files

Glith · 2006-04-20, 11:53

Hi.
I have currently a small problem.. A few of my movies consists of many files.. When I try and update my movie database it adds an entry for every file the movie consists of and tries to get the IMDB info for each file.. :roll:

Any suggestions? I dont want to merge all files together for every movie. I used Meedio before and there it was no problem using many files for each movie so hopefully something can be done with MP?

Thanks.

In fact it works fine for me... for example: xyz-CD1.avi and xyz-CD2.avi are shown as "xyz" in MP. don't know what other filename-types MP is sensitive for...

Thanks...

I use the search too little I think.....

Some filenames has CD1 and CD2 in the middle of the filename...

I'll go thru them and change them... Hopefully it'll work.. =)

It will, also recommend sticking them in one folder, named title of film.
