Absolutely agree with you. I came from an xbmc world as well and don't have this as an issue with anything else.

Even tried it with XBMC for Windows and the listings there are instant. It has been like this for as long as I can remember. Don't really know if it's being ignored or what (has been reported several times).

here it is listed below - - i ended up reloading everything into my movie db i dont know if its possible to edit the existing one to include the new DIR path.

Copy and paste following code into notepad and save it with any name having .cmd extension.
You need to set path (FilesPath variable) to the folder where all movies exist.

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
SET FilesPath=C:\My Movies
IF NOT EXIST !FilesPath! ECHO Invalid Path "!FilesPath!" &EXIT /B 0
FOR /F "delims=" %%f IN ('DIR /A-D /B /ON "!FilesPath!"') DO (
@ECHO Processing: %%f
SET FolderName=
SET FolderName=!FilesPath!\%%~nf
IF NOT EXIST "!FolderName!" MD "!FolderName!"
IF EXIST "!FilesPath!\%%f" MOVE /Y "!FilesPath!\%%f" "!FolderName!")

EXIT /B 0

test it on a small existing folder first make sure you dont screw your collection!
