Moving Pictures is a movies plug-in for the MediaPortal media center application. The goal of the plug-in is to create a very focused and refined experience that requires minimal user interaction. The plug-in emphasizes usability and ease of use in managing a movie collection consisting of ripped DVDs, and movies reencoded in common video formats supported by MediaPortal.

Issus with films with several files in the same directory #1120

### What steps will reproduce the problem?

1A. Add a few different movies in the same directory

My MediaPortal crached (computer turned off while writing so it bugged while 
starting, and I hence did a clean uninstall and started all over) so that meant 
installing Moving Pictures 1.5.1 from the Extension installer.

The issue is that the process simply freezes when if gets to a place where 
there are many different moviles in the same folder.

In my case Barbapapa (some old ripped VHSes - several movies in the same dir) 
froze the scraper. Moving that directory away to a directory not reached by the 
scraper, the scraper stopped at Tintin (21 movies in the same directory, where 
some are part 1 and 2 and which I could combine but the scraper got stuck 
there), and then on Pippi Longstocking (a film with three chapters that are 
actually part of the same file so I merged them into one but the scraper still 
stops).

The screen capture is the what it is after an hour of not going forward.

So; it freezes in ALL cases where I have different movies in the same directory 
and movies that are part of the same film but are named in a way which is not 
just the same with a counter as the only difference.

1B. Grouping files in the same directory to one entity, sometimes makes the 
Media import component crash and to be replaced with a red cross (diagonal).

### Attached file

I believe both the 1A and 1B are sampled in the log file provided (and YES it's 
really big as I have a lot of media).

It happens to show a situation where the scraper gets stuck on a file shich is 
a combined entry of differently named files but this is not the only cases. The 
Barpapapa case was not includiung any entry merging.

### What version of Moving Pictures are you using? What version of MediaPortal?

1.5.1

### What Skin?

Using Titan, but this happens both when launching Moving Pictures from the 
config and from the direct link, and the skin is not at play here as Media 
Portal isn't running.

My laymen assumption is that there is something recently introduced in the 
filenamn matching of files in the same directory that does both of these things.

Tried reverting back to 1.5.0 but that didn't make any difference...
