MovingPictures still uses old thumbs dir (1 Viewer)

[disaster123]

Hi!

in the past my client had used a thumbs dir on drive O. Now i change the mediaportal.xml to use a dir on drive C. It works fine only MovingPictures still uses O. Any idea on how to solve this?

You will need to do a string replace in your DB

Issue 438 - Use relative (rather than absolute) path for thumbs folders if using default

The easiest way to switch your folder without messing with SQLite is to:

1) Manually change the artwork folders in the Advanced Config screen (see the attached screenshot).
2) Manually move your artwork folder from the old location to the new location.
3) Restart the Moving Pictures Config.
4) Wait a minute or so, then go through and make sure your favorite covers are still selected.

What actually is happening here is Moving Pictures will see all your assigned artwork is no longer where Moving Pics thinks it is. It will then remove all links in the database to the old folder (because it no longer exists) then rescan for new artwork. The first place the scanner will look for artwork though is your existing artwork folder (the new one) on your hard drive. All your old artwork will then be reloaded. This means that you may have to cycle your selected cover on a few movies here and there to get back to the one you had previously selected, but you wont have to redownload anything.

And for what its worth I just pulled the issue ltfearme linked forward. not sure why it was pushed all the way back to 1.4...
