Hi
It seems that moving pictures importer wont add files from a removable drive
I have a MS Surface tablet, with a 128gb MicroSD card in it with lots of movies on it.
Mapped to drive M:
When I add any of the folders from drive M to the media sources in Moving pictures config, it quickly scans them but doesn't add any of the movies.
If I copy the exact same folders to the C: drive and point to that in Moving pictures, it finds them and adds them as movies
I think this is because the M: drive is removable, and Moving Pictures doesn't like it:
When looking at the "Movie Importer" tab:
- The M: drive "Media source" in Moving pictures has a tooltip on it "Drive type: Removable (removable), Online True"
- The C: drive "Media source" in Moving pictures has a tooltip on it "Drive type: Fixed"
I'm never going to remove the MicroSD card, and I have run out of room on my C drive to add the movies there.
Does anyone know of a way to get Moving Pictures to add the files when they are on the MicroSD card ?
or fool it into thinking that the MicroSD card is actually a fixed drive type ( I tried lots of things and googled it for ages )
Also does anyone know where the Moving Pictures Help has gone to. If I click on the "User's Manual" hypertext from the About tab, it takes me to here: http://www.moving-pictures.tv/ which says the site cant be reached. Other similar links seem broken
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.
