[QUOTE="faulknerm, post: 681944, member: 88550"] Evening, I decided it was time to get my HTPC project off the ground again, after a hiatus of over 2 years! This evening I've started to transcode my DVDs to MKV using MakeMKV, so that I can store them on my file server and play them using movingpictures on the MP HTPC. Problem I'm come up against is that MakeMKV correctly stores the MKV files (called title00, 01 etc) inside a folder named after the DVD - as an example I'm currently doing Big Momma's House which has left me with title00, title01, title02, title03, title04 and title05 all inside a folder called BIG_MOMMAS_HOUSE which is itself inside my parent folder simply called VIDEO. When I tell movingpictures to search inside the folder VIDEO it throws up a long list of MKV files called title01, title02 etc. and in order to import them and get the details from IMDB I'd have to enter the film names manually. When I accidentally left the "import inserted DVD" box checked and then inserted the original DVD for Big Momma it drew all of the information from IMDB automatically, including the title. Is it possible to somehow make it take the title from the folder name, or some other way so that I don't have to enter a film title manually each time? As I have over 2000 DVDs to work through!
