[QUOTE="druid9, post: 220198, member: 28347"] You need to use database rather than shares. This ought to solve all of your problems. Spanned disks are recognised if named appropriately so you don't end up with Eragon 1, Eragon 2 etc. You just need to tell MP in config where the files are, and it will scan them for you. An alternative (which I haven't used) is the My Movies Plugin which takes data from an ANT database. With 1600 movies you might well have one of those. One of the things which many folks seem to miss is that MP is database driven rather than using the Windows file structure, for movies and indeed for music. No need to tie yourself in knots over folder structures etc. In fact your movie files could be spread all over the place, and provided you told MP where to look, the database scan would find them and update them. You can also make manual entries, but that would take a long time with that many files [/QUOTE]
