[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 785557, member: 18896"] The last file however is named "¡Three Amigos! (1986).tt0092086.avi", but that should indeed normally not be a problem. What you are doing however is mass-importing a lot of movies when you are experiencing problems. On the Mac create "\\Venomp\1tb\Vids\Temp" folder, and move all the files in there, leaveing no movie left in "\\Venomp\1tb\Vids\Movies". Then launch MovPic config again and wait for a few seconds as it will be doing maintenance. Then leave the import tab open and move back 1 movie. Verify it is picked up by the importer, it should appear as a text entry first, then green circle will appear and once import is finished it will show a checkmark inside the green circle. Then you can switch to the "Movie Manager" tab to verify the movie imported correctly. After you verified that, move 2 movies into the import folder, wait for all checkmarks, then 5, then 10 and after that you should be able to move them all. The specific error entry is as follows: 07-Sep-2011 19:41:03 Fatal [ MovieImporter]: Unhandled error in MediaScanner. System.IO.IOException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. Which could possibly refer to the MediaInfo part of the import process. If you still have problems importing, then at the import tab, use the gear icon drop down menu to disable the option that reads "Automatically Retrieve MediaInfo". If a few movies then import correctly, you should visit the MediaInfo website and download a new DLL from them to see if yours needs updating (can happen with media that is newer then the support within the DLL that you have installed with MediaPortal). And please report back what steps you took that failed or worked, so that perhaps something can be done to improve MovPic on handling these situations. PS: I also noticed you have a few multi-part movies, but a lot of your movies are in the same folders, so be sure that "Importer Settings" -> "Always Group Files In The Same Folder" setting is not enabled. PPS: If you like English titles/summaries, you might want to consider using the IMDb+ scraper before you import your collection for added benefits. [/QUOTE]
