I'm trying to get my MediaPortal setup moved over to use the Database but I've come across a couple annoyances.
1. In source view... I can see system/hidden folders.
I fixed this by moving most of my movies out of root directories on my storage drives into a subfolder... then changing the folder's root in the configuration, not a big deal but this leads into my second problem.
2. When I move a movie (mkv avi etc) and rescan the new location isnt added to the existing entry instead a duplicate entry is created.
This is annoying and not a bug or anything but my options are to spend hours manually removing duplicate entries... or clear the entire database and spend hours resolving conflicts for movies that have multiple entries or shitty default cover art.
If I had my way there'd be a purge missing files option or an option to not show Database Entries if the file is missing or on a disconnected drive. If either option exists and im just missing it please point me in the right direction.
3. My Biggest annoyance is I've taken considerable time to find my own cover and MP automatically downloads new often incorrect or poor quality coverart when I do a scan.
Is there anyway to have MP default to the folder.jpg in each movies folder?
