Hi there,

Ive 2 PCs with about the same hardware but different movies on their HDDs, so I just cloned the Windows-partition to have 2 configured MediPortals.
Problem: I didnt delete the movie-entries of PC1 before copying the win-partition onto PC2, so on PC 1 I have the movie-entires of PC1, on PC2 I have the entries of PC1 AND PC 2. Of course the entries of PC 1 wont play. The Winamp library has a "delete missing files" entry, is there sth similar in the mov. pic-plugin?
I hope I wont have to delete the mov pic database of PC2 and recreate the database

Well in 0.6.3 unless something is flagged as removable it should automatically remove movies that have a missing physical file. Meaning on launch all those movies should be done away with. The process can be a bit slow if you have a large collection though. This sounds a little silly, but you may try opening the Moving Pictures config and letting it sit for a few minutes. If you are certain the files aren't being removed, this may have to do with this issue.
