Movie Database - Only tries to find 50% of files

rthomasnj · 2007-08-10, 15:35

MediaPortal Version: 0.2.2.3

I've got about 700 avi files on 5 hard drives. I ask movie database to search all 5 hard drives in the appropriate folder for the imdb information, and it only searches for 341 movies. Any ideas?

Many thanks for your thoughts.

Hello rthomasnj,

do you have any movies that consist of more than one file ? The Movie Database for example adds movies that consist of two files as one movie.

No. They are all single avi files.

Well, maybe this will help someone else. I clicked on movie extensions and noticed all the extensions were lower case. I remembered a few missing videos were saved upper case .AVI. I added that as an extension and it found the missing movies.
