Database problem when changing hard drive (1 Viewer)

[Paul_Baylis]

Hi guys,

I have been using Moving Pictures for a few months and it has been great.. I am using the latest build that comes with StreamedMP 8.448 and Media Portal 1.01 release.

Everything works fine and it scans my hard drives correctly. The set up is as follows...

C: Docs & Sets/Movie Database 1
D: Movie Database 2
E: Movie Database 3
F: Movie Database 4 and so on...


I recently replaced the 1TB Hard Drive (movie database 2 on D: drive) with a 1.5TB Hard Drive. I copied everything across so the movies are STILL in D: Movie Database 2 exactly as before but they are now on a bigger drive.

I also havent changed any watched folders or removed D: Movie Database 2 from the watched list.

But when I enter Moving Pictures configs it now shows all the movies that were in D: Movie Database 2 as red (signifying the drive is offline). And it is also trying to add the same files again through the importer as if they are brand new movies.

So my question is...

Why does it see the D: Movie Database 2 as offline, and ALSO as online because it is trying to add the movies from that same database again.

Is there anything I can change to enable it to turn the red movies back into black and stop the importer trying to add them again.

This is really winding me up because the drive letter, folder and file names are all the same so why does it think there has been a change.

I really dont want to have to import my movies, make database name changes and source missing covers again if I replace any other drives with 1.5TBs.

Thank you for any help you can give me guys...

When MovPic scan your import paths it also enters the diskid for the volume/disk the path is on. (top verify the disk is available, but the path is not and such)
Since you changed disks, the ID also changed. To my knowledge, modifying the diskID with a tool as sqlite browser directly in the database should solve this. However, it has been asked before, so you might want to do a search on this forum first.

This is a known issue and already has been fixed for the 0.8 release, related issue is here. It's possible to fix for now but that involves editing the database:

* Step-by-step guide on how to fix it in 0.7
* Good tool to edit the database with, visit/download SQLiteStudio

Thanks for the quick responses guys, the reason my post count is so low is because I normally manage to find out the information I needed, but I came up against a brick wall on this one.

Thanks again, I will check out the method for editing the ID in 0.7.... cheers
