[QUOTE="fforde, post: 870933, member: 52082"] Moving files should be mostly seamless, if you have Moving Pictures watching both the source path and the destination things should move over automatically whether Moving Pictures was running at the time or not. Just make sure you do not remove the old path from Moving Pictures until [B]after[/B] you have moved everything over and you have relaunched MediaPortal. It is not always required but to be safe it's also a good idea to mark an old import path as "Replaced" before you start moving things (see above). All this really does is preserve movie info even if Moving Pictures thinks your stuff has gone away which can occur if the root directory of your original import path is gone. [B]TL;DR [/B]Add your new locations to the importer. Move your files. Verify Moving Pictures has updated them. Remove the old import path. Before you start, flag the old path as "Removed" just to be safe. [/QUOTE]
