[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 926864, member: 18896"] Adding the ISO extension is not how you do it, this is because ISO is like a ZIP file, it is a container for other files. What you need to do is setup the auto-mount system in MediaPortal, so it links the ISO to a virtual CD/DVD/BR optical drive, and then MovPic/etc can import the AVI/VOB/etc from it. Instructions on how to do so are at wiki/etc and rely on using VirtualCD/DVD or Daemon Tools. It's all about speed then and proper filesystem locks. The 'moment' you start moving a file over, MovPic pics this up via Windows API alert and begins to import it. However at that time the 'old' location is still active/valid. So the 'new' movie gets added and you end up with two versions. Normally your filesystem locks the 'destination' file and only releases this lock once the 'source' file is moved 100%. MovPic detects this, knows destination is same as source (it uses a hash for this) and only updates the path reference inside database. So if you move a file from D:\path1 to D:\path2 and both are active import paths for MovPic, then it will update the database path reference instantly and can do this while MovPic is running (be it config or GUI). But if you copy from [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/file://path3/']\\path3[/URL] to E:\path4 and there is no proper lock being placed, you end up with 2 files, or no files as the delete could hide both. In that case the file gets marked as 'ignore'. To 'unignore' them, open MovPic config -> "Movie Importer" tab, look for the grey gear icon with little arrow next to it at the "Media Importer" section, and select "Unignore All Files". If they still do not show up, they could possible have been grouped with another movie, depending on your settings at "Importer Settings", in which case currently you have to scroll through each movie in your "Movie Manager" list and pay close attention to the "File Info" details and see if more then 1 file is used. This is normally meant to handle movie.cd1.avi and movie.cd2.avi as a single movie, but it can happen that you got movie.foo.avi and movie.bar.avi linked to just movie "Foo" and not "Foo" and "Bar". This could be same to above. Did not read your log file, because in most cases it is caused by the above mentioned reasons. If you happen to have a rare new case, then be sure to capture *ALL* the events in the log file. Log files are constantly recreated by default and if you do not capture the actual issue the log file is totally useless. [/QUOTE]
