[QUOTE="milhouse, post: 212220, member: 26653"] Can I ask how many files you have to add to the database? I think that if it is marginally reasonable, you might find it easy to add them all manually through the movie editor. I've got about 350 movies, mostly isos, and the majority of them I have manually added to the database. Manually adding them all 1) avoids the conflicts problem you've been having (never seen it - try searching the forums for "movie scan conflict" for resolution), 2) fixes the genres problem, because you put only the genres you want on each movie (this I've mentioned several times now - imdb genres suck, so you NEED to add them manually), and 3) avoids the episodes problem of multiple identical listings, because you add them yourself and stack the files (so file naming doesn't matter). I think you need to concentrate on getting the database manually updated according to your liking. The shares view is just never going to give you what you want. So let's worry about that first. Actually, I think I may know the conflicts problem with the scan. There is an option on the Movie Database Settings tab that says "automatically select the nearest match". I bet it finds "Shield s01e01" and "Shield s01e02" both match the Shield. So it tries to add the same record twice. To avoid this, maybe DON'T scan the TV Shows folder. Scan the movies, and manually add all the TV series. Or like I suggested above, manually add everything. As for the crash on entering configuration - perhaps re-install MP and have a clean start? I am pretty much out of suggestions there. Your last question I am not clear on. Are you asking if the database scan will look into sub folders? I honestly don't know for sure. But I would certainly expect it to. [/QUOTE]
