[QUOTE="glenb83, post: 999536, member: 91087"] Hi guys, found this thread when I was having a similar problem. Basically, I store all my media on a server, and I have just had to rebuild the server. I had 3 import paths for moving pictures setup previously: \\Server\windows\videos\movies, \\Server\windows\videos\concerts, \\Server\windows\videos\kids The new locations are similar, but slightly different: \\Server\media\videos\movies, \\Server\media\videos\concerts, \\Server\media\videos\kids What happens is I open MovingPictures config from the plugins menu, and it lists my original 3 import paths and all movies are listed in red in the movies tab. As soon as I try to add 1 of the new paths, it instantly tries to import all the data again. I then close the importer and copy the original database file back. I have done alot of customising the imported movies that weren't recognised automatically and I don't want to have to do it all again! Is there another way I can edit a file or setting somewhere and globally change the import paths, or some other way to do it so MP doesn't try to re-import everything? In tv-series I added the new path alongside the first, did a reimport and then deleted the original share and it all seemed ok. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
