[QUOTE="PrinzValium, post: 1232541, member: 109452"] On Friday it was time for me to do a fresh installation on my HTPC and I wanted to upgrade to windows 10 anyway. So I decided to give MePo 2 a try once again. All my movies and series are stored on a server in the LAN. Movies each have a NFO file and fanart + poster. series each have NFO files. So I added the paths to the media stores (I did this one by one) and let the importer do it's thing, which took about two days in total by the way. After the movie import was finished I checked the count. I got 711 movies on the server and only 704 were shown in the movies view in mepo. After checking the logs I found out that the importer merged some movies together. I have two different versions of Star Wars I-VI, so these were merged together. I can live with that. So this would mean I should be able to see 705 movies in total which wasn't the case, so I double-checked the logs. I found out that the importer merged "Carnage" (tt1692486) into "The Exorcist" (tt0070047). Both movies are stored in different folders and have the correct NFO file. I even rescraped the movies to verify that no NFO file is corrupted. I tried to remove both of them, reimport and then add the either of them again and reimport once again. Depending on the order I did this, either of them showed up, never both though. The next step was to stop the service, delete the whole database and do a new import. Unfortunately the outcome was exactly the same. This wouldn't be a problem if I could edit the database by hand somehow. Nevertheless I wanted to try the series import. The good thing is every episode was showing up, except for some files which I could identify pretty fast. These have a ".divx" file extension. I assume the importer just doesn't have this extension in the scraper list or something. Is it possible to add extensions to the list? In my case I can just rename the files to ".avi" since these are actually avi-files. Also there are two series (American Dad, Marvel's Daredevil) where the importer didn't download any fanart and I have no idea why. They got added correctly to the database though. I can provide NFO files if needed. I found one episode which aired on TV in two separate parts but is listed on thetvdb as one single part. Thus only one of my local files got referenced. I guess I'll have to merge my local files together into one file and there is no other solution right? Also it's quite a hassle to set a watched state for over 600 movies. In MovingPictures I could just set every movie to "watched" and then it was pretty easy to set ~100 movies to "unwatched" again. I don't want to "hardcode" the watched flag into my NFO files though. So far I really like the improvements of MePo 2 since the last time I tested it. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me solving these problems, otherwise I'll probably go back to MePo 1 for the time being. edit: forgot to add the logs, I guess you'll want them [/QUOTE]
