[QUOTE="dir, post: 1049688, member: 24485"] I'm confused by what you've written. Do you have your movies in a completely different directory than your TV shows, for example: c:\Movies\ d:\Movies\ c:\TV Shows\ e:\More TV Shows\ e:\More Movies\ Or do you have something like d:\All My Stuff d:\All My Stuff\Star Wars IV: A New Hope\Star Wars IV A New Hope.mkv d:\All My Stuff\The Oprah Winfrey Show\Season 01\01 - Blah.avi d:\All My Stuff\The Oprah Winfrey Show\Season 01\02 - More Blah.avi d:\All My Stuff\Seinfeld.s03e05.The.Pirate.Shirt When I added my shares, it first prompted me for the path (I navigated to my server then to a folder, ie. \\MediaServer\Movies) Then it asked me if this was a Movie, Series, Music, or Photo share. I selected Movie. I did the same for all my other shares - I have them spread across several locations but I was able to add each one and tell MP2 what it held. The import took 24 hours but at the end of it, all my movies show up in my Movies, all my shows show up in Series, etc. It didn't go through each sub-folder within each share and decide what each of the files was, and override what I told it. Like, it didn't find my Seinfeld folder within \\MediaServer\TV\Seinfeld and decide "Oh, these are movies". Conversely, it didn't go through my Movies folders and decide "Oh this is a TV show". That's what it appears you're saying. Or is it? If so, perhaps you need better and clearer folder structures. Its a pain to do but worth it in the end. \\MediaServer\Movies\Star Wars IV\star wars IV.avi \\MediaServer\Movies\Star Wars V\star wars V.mkv \\MediaServer\Movies\Star Wars V\star wars V trailer.avi \\MediaServer\Movies\Star Wars V\folder.jpg \\MediaServer\Movies\Star Trek: Wrath of Khan\Star Trek IV Wrath of Khan.mkv \\MediaServer\TV\Seinfeld\Season 01\s01e01 - Blah.avi \\MediaServer\TV\Seinfeld\Season 01\so1e02 - More Blah.avi \\MediaServer\TV\American Dad\Season 01\s01e01 - Blah.avi \\2ndMediaServer\TV\American Dad\Season 02\s02e01 - Yuck.avi F:\More Movies\Beaches\Beaches.avi etc [/QUOTE]
