[QUOTE="jburnette, post: 335389, member: 24356"] I've implemented a basic folder masking system that allows you to specify a folder mask for each root folder. I basically did what you've said there, but I need you all to let me know if this would work for you. I'll try to get another build posted tonight. Let's say your folder structure is something like Rock\Nine Inch Nails. You could use the mask %tag%\%artist%\. This would cause all videos in the rock subdirectories to be tagged "Rock". Then all videos in the Nine Inch Nails subdirectory will use that as it's artist. It doesn't matter whether the videos in the subdirectory have an artist name in them or not. If the filename contains a dash then the artist name is discarded. If no dash exists, then the entire video name is used. That way if you just have Rock\Nine Inch Nails\with teet.avi then it will be added as "With Teeth". If you don't want to worry about folder masks, you can just put a text file named info.txt in the folder and specify the same information that way. Also, the whole caching of chosen artists was broken in that last build I uploaded so that explains why people were having to choose the same artist over and over again. I'm not sure how I missed that before I uploaded it. With that working again, I'm able to scan 500 videos in 12 minutes which I don't think is too bad. Did you upgrade your old database? And does this only happen in Top 100 View? Was there any pattern to what view the crashing happened in? I haven't seen this happen, but I'd like to track it down. [/QUOTE]
