[QUOTE="HappyTalk, post: 134507, member: 22671"] You shouldn't have films with the same number. Though Ant allows it (but does warn you against it) it is now being used as a unique key to index into the database. For multiple films on DVDR you should be setting the Media Label value to the same for all those on the same disk. Previously MyFilms indexed based on the name but this is not really a practical way to index into a database as it could have many problems itself as indexing based on names that may not be unique could lead to many other issues. New features required this shift. You will find most databases rely on a unique key to index into records. The fact that Ant allows duplicates in the number field is a bad feature and can cause problems in Ant itself when you do so. So I would use a script to copy the Number field to the Media-Label field in Ant and ensure the number field is unique. Then set MyFilms config to use the Media-Label field for the disk prompt dialog. [/QUOTE]
