[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 576817, member: 18896"] If your car window is broken, do you then leave your car at home, take the bus, go to a car mechanic and tell them "my car is broken, please fix it". Or do you actually bring in your car, and explain that the window is the part that is broken? Now consider the log files being your car. Asking for help on a problem with MovingPictures without providing the log files can therefore be a struggle, unless it happens to be a known problem. So I can give you a suggestions to look for. MovingPictures has support for "Some Movie Title - Part 1.avi" and "Some Movie Title - Part 2.avi" to turn them into "Some Movie Title" and merge the 2 parts. You can verify this by going to the "Movie Managers" tab, find the movie in question that did get added and click on the "Movie Details" text with the little arrow, right under the large movie title, as per: [img]http://blixy.net/mp/FAQ.MovingPictures.3a_Bad.Sorting.Example.png[/img] Then change it to File information, and you should see all the files that got linked together. To unlink, sent the movie back to the importer and use the little green arrow to unmerge any auto-merged movie. More then likely your filenaming is too close to differentiate, which a year title would solve. For example "Spider-Man 1.avi" with "Spider-Man 2.avi" will most likely get linked together as a single movie, but "Spider-Man 1 (2001).avi" and "Spider-Man 2 (2004).avi" will be added as seperate movies.
