Hi, I'm new to moving pictures i'm using the most current version available 0.6.6. I'm not sure if there is something that im not doing correctly or if this is even possible. I have two separate hard drives that i store my movies on, when i add the second hard drive as a location to import movies from it doesnt add anything and if it does attempt to add a movie its completely the wrong movie. Please help!

Well you definitely can have movies on different hard drives, so there must be something else going on. Are you pointing to the correct folder on the other hard drive (ie the folder containing the movies and not just the root X:/)?

poppabk is right, if you have your watch folders set properly, there should be no problem. If you feel like you have your folders set correctly and things are still not working correctly, post your logs and I will take a look.

    I have all of my movies over the network so anytime I reboot the remote machine I need to use a bat file to mount the drives. I make a file called netuse.txt which I change to netuse.bat and place in the startup folder.

    ECHO Begin Mapping Drives
    net use Z: "\\HTPC\tv2" password /USER:"HTPC\login-name"
    net use w: "\\HTPC\Movies2" password /USER:"HTPC\login-name"
    net use X: "\\HTPC\Movies" password /USER:"HTPC\login-name"
    net use Y: "\\HTPC\!tv" password /USER:"HTPC\login-name"
    net use V: "\\HTPC\Music" passwordr /USER:"HTPC\login-name"
    exit

    -jack
