[QUOTE="OrionHall, post: 240639, member: 56502"] Excellent - glad to hear it's working for you. Recursive search - this should happen automatically. Please have a play, and if you find it's not working then please post the kind of files / folder structure that it's struggling with. Make sure the file types you're scanning for are listed on the Options page. Multiple input paths - yeah, I've been thinking some people may need that. My movies are all in one folder, so I don't have that problem :) It shouldn't be hard to implement that, though scanning multiple paths means the 'override path' makes no sense. I guess it's either/or - scan one folder with the option to tweak the path, or multiple paths 'as-is'. I'll add that to the list for the next release. I'm quite happy to add this kind of thing if it's needed - mainly because I've found MediaPortal and all it's plugins to be excellent - and free - so it's nice to give something back. Ah - well you learn something new every day! In that case then yeah, you'll be able to move from DVD copies to mp4 files without changing a thing. Nice. I have my films in one big folder, and Ant lists the full UNC path to each in the Source field, and that's what MyFilms uses to locate them. I don't use MyFilm's searching ability at all. I do understand the reasoning for storing folder paths only and not storing the filenames, so will see if that can be added without breaking anything! Cheers, OrionHall. p.s. Note to mcbelly... I forgot to mention that I tested running my app over a UNC path and got the same error as you. No idea why - I thought a simple .Net app would be fine with this.
