[QUOTE="OrionHall, post: 310618, member: 56502"] This may be a bit late, but there is an alternative way to get around this. I don't know if it's any better than jacc1234's technique, but it may work for some people. AMCUpdater supports an 'excluded movies' file, so if you manually correct your database to only list the first file in the series (and ensure the filenames are auto-detected by MyFilms, such as ...CD1, ...CD2 etc.) you can stop the remaining files from being imported. You can manually create the Excluded Movies file or run the AMCUpdater, scan for updates, and then select 'Ever Ignore' when prompted for Internet lookup on each file. That file will then not be imported again. If you want to create it manually, it's just a plain text file listing the filenames to ignore, and must be specified in the AMCUpdater interface or config files so the program knows to use it. Important Note : Please ensure you exclude ALL parts of your multi-part files from processing; otherwise the database entry will be updated to only include the first file of the series! But again, this will become irrelevant as soon as the new version of MyFilms is ready :) Cheers, Orion. p.s. The latest beta version of AMCUpdater has an additional GUI based way to exclude files from processing on the Scan Filters tab. Beta downloads aren't generally full packaged versions but you can get it in [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/my-films-164/amc-updater-v0-7-3-now-available-43435/"]this thread[/URL] [/QUOTE]
