[QUOTE="TheBatfink, post: 334359, member: 52265"] Ok so I decided to rewrite this whole post because it was getting disjointed. Basically my findings - Issue one - The file created by the AMC Updater when opened by ANT appears to show no movie entries. When selected in Myfilms it complains there are no movie files to show. When opening the file manually with wordpad the file appears ok with all the movies and details listed as would be expected. Solution - For some reason when I save my .xml file to the mediaportal directory in the program files directory, niether ANT or Myfilms can see anything inside it? I can select it in the file browsers but they both act like its completely empty. My only ideas are that this is something to do with Windows Vista (I only installed it this weekend btw). Don't suppose anyone can shed light on this issue for understandings sake?? Issue 2 - My films are contained in folders named as the film name, the files are then placed inside the film name folder and multiparts are ussually identified via cd1 and cd2 however AMC does not see them as multipart files and calls them seperate movies. Soultion - My file names are untouched. They are ussually blahblah.blahblah.cd1 etc as you would expected. Just stumbled accross the regex which is [-|_]cd[0-9] for some reason it was felt the full stop was not a common seperator!!!!! [-|_|.]cd[0-9] works fine after I figured out how to edit the regex :-) So basically not really the fault of the updater at all, but I would have the full stop as a seperator as default personally!
