Titles disappear after scraping, ability to rescan missed files lost #722

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I've been doing some trial installations of MP 1.1.0 and Moving Pictures 
1.0 B2 on a separate PC before updating my HTPC to verify there will be no 
issues during an upgrade. I've done this several times as I discover 
configuration items that need to be tweaked and want to test compatability 
with skins.

On each trial, I have run into an issue where several of my film titles 
(files stored on 2 shares on WHS, about 150 movies total) disappear from 
the Moving Pictures database. The files are clearly there and in the last 
case I noticed two that were initially linked to the correct title (green 
button, no check mark) prior to closing down the Moving Pictures configure 
screen. The Movie Importer was hung on downloading details for "Aliens" at 
the time, so I just shut it down. Upon later restarting the Movie 
Importer, those two titles disappeared and any amount of rescanning does 
not pick them up ("Aliens" completed without issues). Having run across 
this a few times I am getting the impression that the initial Movie Import 
should be allowed to run to completion to avoid any issues. However, what 
gets me is that a rescan does not pick up the missed titles. I've tried 
the "unignore" function without effect. The files appear to be invisible 
to the Movie Importer after the original glitched scrape.

Moving Pictures 1.0 B2
MediaPortal 1.1.0 Beta
Black Glass 2.1.1

The logs don't help in solving the problem but to speculate a little: maybe 
there is a  
relation with Issue #710 as i see your folder is called DVD1. Perhaps the movie 
files  
are added to another movie (a false multi-part). Can you check for this?

Yes, looks like the same issue as #710.  Found a gold mine of missing files in 
Matrix Revolutions file details.
