[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1184509, member: 18896"] Moving-Pictures stores volume labels and serial numbers as well on drives, so you can connect a drive as X: and reconnect another drive as X: as well and it will be able to keep the imports separated. The logic was meant for optical discs, as they are different discs for the same drive-letter, but the same method is applied to harddisks. It appears that in your conversion Windows 10 gave a different serial number or volume label to your NAS box, which is weird, because UNC paths are normally excluded from that and most NAS solutions will not give any info for a mapped drive. That sounds like the most logical choice though, because it also explains why the files still play fine, because MediaPortal deals with playback and does not make that same s/n + label check. Now as far as fixing goes, Moving-Pictures also uses hashes to recognize when a file is moved from one valid import path to another. So instead of manually fixing the database to correct the bad serial number or label issue, you could consider to first make a backup of the db3 file, and then inside config tag the existing Y: to be replaced (option in drop down menu), and then connect the drive to Z: or some. Once the movies are "moved" which you can see in the log files with a bunch of references, and the movies show up black again, you can remove Y: from import path, allow MovPic to clean up any old reference (verify log again), and then repeat the same process to get it back to Y:. Or if you are handy with SQLite then just edit the database manually. [/QUOTE]
