How to Relocate movies ! (1 Viewer)

[lucashoang]

I just found out that if I've renamed or change folder of any movie so that name will become red in list of moving pictures. But here problem happened. If I keep this title red, movie can't play but if I remove it, moving pictures no longer adding it to the list.
Anybody have any idea to fix it ?

Regards

Red listed items indicate a change has occured, usually to show a rename/move event.

If you close MovingPictures configuration and re-open it, then the red items should show their final state.

This is not correct. The colors can be adjusted by the skin you are using but generally a movie is highlighted in red if it is offline. Moving Pictures is pretty smart about this, if a disk is online but a file is missing it will simply be removed from your collection. If a disk is offline then all movies on that disk will be flagged as offline as well (marked in red).

Generally if you rename a video file or move it from one location to another, Moving Pictures will automatically detect this and update things internally as needed with no action required by the user. So I would not expect renaming a file to cause a problem.

General info aside, can you be more specific about the changes you have made lucashoang? It is not exactly clear to me what you did or what issue you having.

Thanks for your quick response !
I've changed the name of some movies like before it only Harry 2 so I changed it to full name with encode group. After that I saw those movies being red

Btw: If I've deleted the movies in Media Manager tab so can I have anyway to add it again to moving pictures ? I see it seem moving pictures has ignored those movie now

I missread your original question, I was referring to the 'red' color in the "Movie Manager" tab inside the 'Moving-Pictures configuration'. The skin I use uses 'orange' color for offline movies inside the GUI and I forgot it had been changed to 'reddish' for the new Default skins.

To solve your problem of movies being ignored, open the MovPic configuration. Then at the Importer tab that it opens in default look for the 'gear icon' with a little arrow next to it and use that to bring up a menu to select "unignore all movies".

That should fix it for you.
