Since I'm running low on my current hard drive I'm planning to replace it with a 2TB hard drive. My question is that will I have to import all the movies again or is it possible for the plugin to keep track of the drive change ?

    If the drive is a direct replacement, so it has the same address as original and the folders are identical in layout, then there should be no issue.

    I replaced my drive from a 1TB to a 2TB, kept the same drive letter (E:) and now when I run MovingPictures it's attempting to re-load all the movie info :(

    Is there an easy way to just update the MovingPictures SQLite DB3 file. Do I simply update the volume_serial field in the local_media table?

    Thanks for your reply. In my configuration this setting is set to "no". To avoid misunderstandings, the MP window size changes on screen resolution changes, MP always fulfills the whole screen. Also, the home screen buttons size is adjusted. Only the font size is not adjusted to the new screen resolution.

    I have all of my media on a NAS. I guess it might just be a network issue, then.

    Ok, now this really pisses me off, because I tried that yesterday and when I fired up MP and selected videos, it hung. I just tried it now and that appears to be working. (Networks. I hate networks.) Thanks.
