[QUOTE="Inker, post: 81690, member: 10541"] That won't work. I mean it will work, but only in shares view. What if you view your movies by genre, or title, or any other db view and then want to play one? The path won't be right so MP can't find the file. So it doesnt really help when you move your files around, db views will become pretty much information only in this case. You could add an option to update the path info when MP can't find the file in db views. For instace you could make it an option to input "search folders", so when you're in db view and want to play a file that it can't find, it could go through those folders, look for the filename and then update the db and play the file from the new location. Another option would be that in shares view when in the new location you could modify the lookup routine so that if the filename already exists the path will be updated and hence the db location will be correct again. The first option will require new configuration options, the second one not. Hope this info helps :-) [/QUOTE]
