[QUOTE="OrionHall, post: 240507, member: 56502"] Hiya, Well that's a first - don't think anyone's been completely stopped from running the app at all in the past! In short, the path doesn't matter - so long as the exe, the config file and the mediainfo.dll are in the same folder then that'll be fine. I did some Googling and that error might be related to not having the .net framework installed, or not having the correct version. Please install the .Net framework v2 and try again; also please confirm that you're using the correct version (I've compiled separate version for Windows x86 and x64 editions) Nope - sorry - it's designed for occasional use via the GUI, or scheduled use via batch mode only. I've got my app running on startup on my media PC, and that works well enough for me. It occurred to me that it may also be possible to configure MediaPortal so you can launch my app directly from there, or possibly just assign a remote control button to the job. But I've never considered having this run 24x7 and monitor the folders for changes. For a start, my media PC has no local media files, so would have to constantly monitor the movie folders over the LAN. Plus it's normally off during the day so no updates are possible anyway! Hmm - interesting! It may or may not be an easy option to add - not sure off the top of my head. I'll have a tinker and will see if it's feasible. All my code is based upon filenames, and the uniqueness is based upon path + filename, with the path being tweakable using the Override Path option. So your paths should just work if I tell it not to add the Video_ts.ifo, but I'll give it a go. My only concern is that you say you'll switch all your files to .mp4 format, in which case you'll still need to go through your catalog and specify the .mp4 filename in each Ant entry won't you? I know MyFilms will find the DVD files in a folder but if the folder only contains one .mp4 file, will MyFilms pick that up and play it? I would guess not, though I haven't tried it.
