[QUOTE="jimwin, post: 1280225, member: 62878"] I tried migrating from MP1 to MP2 for the second time today. I've found that the movie importer doesn't seem to pick up on a number of movies very well, and there isn't an obvious way to get it to refresh it's database if you go through and refresh. movies that wouldn't auto detect (file names given): Aladdin(2019).mkv black.panther.2018.720p.bluray.x264-sparks.mkv Captain.America.The.First.Avenger.720p.mkv coco.2017.720p.bluray.x264-sparks.mkv Harry Potter and The Philosophers Stone.mkv I only have one Deathly Hallows movie visible, with the 2 files below in the folder: harry.potter.and.the.deathly.hallows.part.1.720p.mkv harry.potter.and.the.deathly.hallows.part.2.720p.mkv I expected to get a few issues, but I'm hugely disappointed after using Moving Pictures in MP1. MP was far better at guessing the movies, plus also let you view the movies it wouldn't automatically match. I've read the article on how to label movies for MP2 to understand them, but that's a huge job to change the names of all the movies, especially when MP1 and even Kodi can recognise most of them. I've tried a few tools, as suggested on the forum to "clean up" my movie names, and also the one to "export my MP database from 1" but nothing seems to work consistently. Sorry to vent, MP2 is great as a whole, but it just seems the movie parser / importer has taken a big step backwards compared to MP1. [/QUOTE]
