I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask, but I noticed one of my movies is not being matched despite having the same name as IMDB and themoviedb, followed by a space and the year in brackets. If this happens, what should I do?

    Hi anony when this happen, just add the imdb database code in the file name. This code is in the internet adresse bar when you look at the movie details.

    For Example. Dark knight, I'll name my file, The.Dark.Knight.FRENCH.x264-1080p-tt0468569.mkv

    Or you can just go into the config screen and manually approve the correct match (or search if it's not listed). The system is designed so that you should never have to rename your files. If you are unfamiliar with how the importer works check out this wiki article.

    If you can not close MediaPortal (say wife will not let you, because she is watching her shows), then you can also find all this information inside the log file, which you can view with MediaPortal running. I use concurrent RDP myself, but another solution is to 'share' the LOG folder.

    Start Menu -> All Programs -> MediaPortal -> User Files

    Windows Explorer will then open and you will see a "log" folder. Right click it and share this on your network.

    Then from another system you can navigate to \\MEPO-BOX\log and open movingpictures.log file. Open it in notepad and you want to look for:

    MovieImporter]: No exact match for​

    You do need to have MediaPortal configuration set to 'Debug' for log verbosity level then if memory serves me. It is also possible to batch-script this via:

    Code:
    @Echo Off
    find "MovieImporter]: No exact match for " [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/file://\\MEPO-Box\log\movingpictures.log']\\MEPO-Box\log\movingpictures.log[/URL]
    pause

    Enjoy.

    I have all of my media on a NAS. I guess it might just be a network issue, then.

    MP1 MP2 1.31.0 Cannot view Changelog anymore DE
    Hi all, I don't frequently update my MediaPortal and before seeing if it's really useful I used to browse the Changelog to determine if this update is necessary for my system or not. Today I wanted to check the Changelog for version 1.34 (1.31 installed on my system) and I was asked for a “Jira” login. I tried to use the same one as...

    MP has adjustable audio delay. I don't know whether this works for all video formats, but it certainly works for TS files, and may work for MP4 files. There is a slider that allows you to adjust the audio delay while playing a video. Press the INFO button on the remote control to display the OSD, select the "Audio" icon, and then...
