[QUOTE="Bernard, post: 848970, member: 120430"] I'm a first time user of Moving Pictures plugin. At first I thought it was broken, but then after a lot of trial and error, realised it is just not showing progress while busy at "Step 2" of the import process. I opened the Config window of the plugin, and then started adding my Network Shares with the "Manually Enter Media Source" option. As expected the progress at the bottom popped up and showed "scanning for media.." (not sure of the correct wording). Then after it did that the progress disappeared an nothing happend. (Or so I thought). After removing all entries and adding only one share with about 61 movies, I noticed it took about 2 minutes before the Importer list started populating and searching online for movie information. Between my MP client and my file server, I have a slow 54kbps Wifi. I get about 2.6Mb/s when I copy files over it. So I can understand that I'm experiencing a longer delay that any other person with a faster wifi or wired connection. I also noticed that when I disable the "Automatically scan MediaInfo" option it was a bit quicker to show the list of files, and start retrieving info online. The purpose of this post is just to request that you add a progress bar that indicates that it is busy just to indicate that it is not dead. I have about 2 shares with another 160 and 200 movies, but because it takes so long, the process seems dead. The only way for me to get a hint that it is working, is to look at the CPU usage in Process Explorer (always +-5% while scanning). Since using "TV-Series" plugin for a while now, I am quite fond of the extensive progress it shows with it's importing process! [/QUOTE]
