[QUOTE="Mitso, post: 474030, member: 24398"] yes, you can change it manually. I've done that several times as I've upgraded or moved files around. I just think there should be an easier way than changing 800 files manually. Trying to pull them from IMDB gave too many missnamed files also. So if Media Portal looked for a helper file first, a file that would contain the name, genre, and description, that would make it so much easier. I'm looking into this myself now. All I have to do is make it look for a file the same name as the .avi, and a .jpg file the same as the name of the .avi and have Media Portal take those files before looking on the web, then it won't matter where I move the files to, as long as I move the other two files with it. So it would look like this: Aliens.avi Aliens.dsc Aliens.jpg Bugs Life.avi Bugs Life.dsc Bugs Life.jpg ... Am I the only person with a large .avi Movie Library? It's fine if I am, I was the only person I knew with a large .mp3 library back in '97. [/QUOTE]
