[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1263678, member: 109222"] Hi. Do you have locally available metadata (aka .nfo files) and local fanart for all your movies and series? Opposite to any other HTPC program available, MP1 did not support nfo files and local fanart for series. So I don't expect you to have those... Then you need to allow online grabbing so MP2 has a chance to identify what's your videos all about. If you don't want any metadata and fanart and you want to browse the folder structure as in explorer only, then you need to add your series and movies folders as "Video". But then you are missing most of the advantages a HTPC program has. No fanart, no cover to look at, no description of the movie or episode,... nothing. In such a case you most likely can use the Smart- functions of your TV with the same or even better result but with less power consuming and less noise.. If the import hung every time at the same video, most likely a faulty video is the reason (means it did not work to extract a thumbnail out of the video due to errors or even DRM protection or the like)... If it hung on different places there is something else that causes the issue. For this we definitely need the log files in Debug Mode. See Wiki for how to activate debug log level. [/QUOTE]
