[QUOTE="charli181, post: 252484, member: 54408"] If you have DVD rips which have IFO & VOB files, what I have done is the following folder structure. "Movie Name/ VIDEO_TS/" and then the files. (mine are all VTS_01_1.IFO,etc) When you do a scan or update, the Movie Name is picked up from the folder name. Also, you can manually edit the database in 2 areas. First one is with the MP Configuration. Again in the menu Movies/Database, click the editor tab. From there select the movie you wish to modify, and then click the Files button. This is where you can modifiy the path to the IFO file. From here also you can also do coverart lookup as well. Second option is a bit more complicated, but will allow you to do search and replaces.
