[QUOTE="Guzzi, post: 1027618, member: 55213"] Fine - see above. If you mount folders instead of the root drive, that issue should not occor. You can also add an issue to tracker if you want, then I can check, if that could be solved in code. Not knowing all details about your setup, I think it is specific to your setup. Afaik, all users testing and using trailers so far had their movies in subdirectories - the search and register trailer stuff assumes, that trailers in teh current (movie) dirctory and it's subdirectories belong to the inspected movie itself. Those trailers get registered to that movie record - which will turn the trailer light to "green" (locally available and registered to that movie). It seems to me, you have all movies in one (or multiple) directories - this leads to the situation, that all of the movies in that directory will find all trailers in that directory - and register it to themselves. To solve that, MF would need to know, is you're using a setup having all movies in one directory - and thus only match on media name pattern. This is currently not possible, as MyFilms does not have that setting (only AMCU for importing). So for now, the only way to get it work as it is intended is to have each movie in it's own directory. That'll result in all trailers in that directory and sub dirs (also multiple) will only get registered to THAT movie. You can put an issue to the tracker for support trailer registration for setups with all movies in one directory. @[USER=27204]Dadeo[/USER]: This current limitation should be added to wiki I think... Yes, as said: If working as intended, a trailer media file (or multiple) are registered to the specific movie record. In standard setup, the movie is in "source" field - trailers in "sourcetrailer" field. Yes, it should - though it seems, due to your setup you got multiple trailers registered to multiple movies - which is of course not intended. Reason see above. This is due to the fact, trailers are played same way as movies - so they also store the point where stopped. This is done intensionally, as I think it has more advantages than disadvantages - if ppl register e.g. specials, interviews, or other stuff with longer play time, tht allows resuming it. For simple trailers, it is normally no disadvantages, as a trailer will play til the end - thus not storing any resume data. If that should be changed, that should be discussed separately, so we can get some more opinions from other users. iirc, that dialog "normally" only appears, if you have multiple trailers available to let you choose (which happens in your case due to unintended registration of multiple trailers to all movies of the directory). For playing random trailers, there is already a new feature in 6.0.3 in test mode, that even allows looping that. Re Shortcut: No problem, we already have a shortcut for movie start, it is simple to add one for movie start - please add an issue to tracker, can easily be done. Just to be sure: "t" is not needed for anything else in MP in that context? (I am remote user, never use keyboard...) [/QUOTE]
