Hi, my problem is, when viewing my movies it's only showing half of what i have - in the database there all there, but in the gui some are missing.

    Does the format vary, which could explain why they will not show up.

    You may need to add the file extension to the MP config\movies section.

    Ok, i've filled in all the specs i can.

    To answer a previous comment, all my films are xvids, maybe a few divx. but all are .avi extension.
    All my films show up in the setup>movie database, but in the main program only about 50% are there.

    I'm new to this, so i dare say there's hundreds of settings i need to change yet.:D

    Ok bet you have more than 1 movie location, you are viewing in shares, if you change the view to title, it should pull in everything in the database (this is done in the MP GUI Movies and left arrow to bring up menu).

    If you add new movies, you then have 2 choices add them in config, or change back to shares view with MP running and navigate in the empty box (no movie name) to the other folder.

    Only post bug reports where you originally posted, for general problems just use the newcomers forum, until you find your way around.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    Looks like there's some kind of error regarding translations that I can't pinpoint about Subcentral. You'll find it in the log file I attached to my previous message. I don't understand it because I use MP in english, I search for subtitles in english and not in my native language, so I can't figure out what's translation got to do...

    Your observation is correct mate. Last time this happened the fires of hell invaded all shopping centers... this time I seem to be the only one in need - which is quite uncomfortable at best. I guess I should look for an alternate solution until and if other MP users realize they have no guide listings. Thank you for chiming in...
