[QUOTE="totopsgr, post: 1088689, member: 114957"] I am facing an unexpected issue that surfaced after the classification update that I was asking about above. Setup: I have a dedicated HTPC that connects to an AV Processor. This PC connects thorough a wired connection to my home network and can access a NAS which holds all my movies. When I add movies to the NAS I run the AMC updater on the HTPC, Then I go to another PC on the network that I have AMC installed, The latest version, and I manually fix any problems with the entries on the XML movie catalogue (such as pics, media type, wrong identifications etc.) The XML also sits on the NAS. Till now my DB had two certification fields. One in the Movie Fields Tab (AMC) and one in the Custom Fields Tab. As long as there was a value in the Custom Fields Value it would be picked up by MFilms and show the certification on the movie page, as long as the value was one of U,PG,12,15,18. After I executed the update of the classification field through record update as described in the wiki that you pointed me the following things happened. Another field was created in the DB xml. Under the Custom Fields tab I now have two certification fields. The old one plus another one at the end of the list. The one populated by the automatic update is the new field, and the values are of the format UK U, UK PG, UK 12, UK 12A etc. Once I loaded Media portal, there is a list of all the new certifications under the certification filter, but my logos did not appear probably due to the format. At this point I thought, well I'll do the hard work and convert the format by deleting the "UK" prefix from the values and copy the result to the old certification field where Myfilms used to pick the values from. After two hours of manuall boring systematic work the task was complete. I even went to bbfc.com and picked values for the movies that they didn't have as a result of the autoupdate. My work was done. When I loaded MP with the new xml and went to myfils the certification category appeared to have no options under it, and when i opened the xml again with AMC there was NO values in any of the certification fields! All values from old an new field dissapeared and fields are empty. Since then Itried all possible combination of where to put values, even in the Movie fields Tab whih i never used before. It doesn't matter, I can save the XML with values in any of the certification fields, confirmed by reopening the xml with AMC after I close it and any changes are there, but as soon as I open in MFilms in MP the values dissapear. It is like the process of opening the XML file in Myfilms erases any values that are in any of the certification fields. Note that no other values n any other fields are affected. I don't know why this is happening therefore I can not fix it. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
