[QUOTE="dir, post: 342893, member: 24485"] John, Is there any way to tell MP to re-scan the collection for the backdrops/movie posters/covers after changing the configuration? I added all my movies, then noticed that there were a couple of hundred without downloaded covers (because they're old, rare movies, and I've hand-downloaded covers for them a long time ago and placed them in the movie directory). So I changed the config to tell MP to look in the movie's directory for images. But it doesn't go and re-look and I don't want to create my database from scratch again. Also, can you specify wildcard pattern matching for the name of the image to look for? My movie covers are: \\share\movies\movie name \\share\movies\movie name\Movie Name.avi \\share\movies\movie name\Movie Name.jpg \\share\movies\movie name\Movie Name_1.jpg \\share\movies\movie name\Movie Name_2.jpg \\share\movies\movie name\Movie Name_3.jpg So I'd like to specify something like "%title%_*.jpg" (assuming "%title%" is the right thing to specify the movie's name?) Thanks, Dir [/QUOTE]
