[QUOTE="gemini728, post: 53560, member: 20517"] I have a problem with MP and movies in different folders. I have a file server which has 4 hard drives, and the HTPC box has another 3 hard drives. All together I have about 2,500 movie files (DivX format). Some movies are comprised of 2 files, so the actual number of movies is about 1,600 to 1,800. As you can imagine, navigating all those drives and folders in MP can be very time consuming. I was using Meedio, and it combined the movies from the different drives into one searchable list. If I had to pick one area of MP to improve - this would be it. I tried using the database feature in MP, but there are a couple of problems - first it is not perfect in its identification of the movies, so I have to manually update many of them. Second, it takes a VERY LONG time when you have as many movies as I have, not to mention TV shows.
