I have just installed a second hard drive and set moving pictures to look at that drive as well.
I have dragged to that drive some films from my first drive to free up some space but when i go to moving pictures config it picks up the file but when it goes to find film info comes up with stupid name matches.

If I return the film to its original drive it works fine.

Any Ideas on why this is happening

Hey 2910grimster,

This is being caused by how MovPics stores movie records in it's database. It is not only looking at the path to the movie file, but also the serial number of the drive that it is on. When you change hard drives, even if the path to the watched folder remains the same, the serial number to the drive changes, and MovPics sees this as not the same movie. If you were to go to the Movie Manager tab, you would noticed that your original movies are there in red (this means that they are offline), because MovPics cannot access those files on that device. There is a way to correct this if you are comfortable in editing the database.
