I want to move all my movies to another drive, without re-scan? (1 Viewer)

Is it possible to change the location of all movies without rescanning them all. I will follow the same directory tree but just change the drive letter.

Only if your willing to manually change the database. If it is many files you will probably want to do some sort of update statement. You can do so with the browser utility that comes with MP.

Thank you for your answer. I will examin the update possibility further.

And I'm not sure of your configuration but possibly, http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/FileAndDisk/Junction.mspx
Might help as it acts like the subst dos command for directories, or possibly using Windows Disk Management in "Computer Management" to mount the drive as a different drive letter etc...

That was exactly how I solved my problem a couple of days ago. My apologizes for not sharing this with the community.
