Title: Video file info. is not being done after scan of new movies
Post by: leogets on November 15, 2010, 12:19:23 am

I have noticed that over 90% of the movies I have added to my database have no actual Video File Info.  the only thinks that appear under these are just the File Path and Duration.  Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?

I go to to each and delete what is located in the File Path and do another scan of the directory, all the movies are then updated with File Information. So why does this not happen upon the first scan for new movies?

I don't know.

To fix any remaining records, do a simple search of Video codec with the term "IS NULL" (i.e., caps, no quotes). Select all records found and execute Re-read file information.

Let us know if new movies are not being scanned when first added.
