[QUOTE="denied, post: 78396, member: 24909"] Hi all, I switched to mediaportal about two months back, really love it. BUT... On MCE there's a plugin (My Movies) that will scan a person's movie directory by the folder or file name, then import the imdb results into your database. Very helpful when all your movies have cryptic names, but are correctly organized in individual directories. As far as I can tell mediaportal will only scan by the file name. How can I scan a rather large movie dir (500 divx/xvid titles) by the folder rather than file names? I've tried using Ant then importing that, but seems like scanning a lot of movies at once is an involved process with that app. Is there something I'm missing in MP to change how it scans my video dir? Or a third party app I could use and then import to MP? Thanks-- [/QUOTE]
