Posted - 11 Oct 2017 : 17:17:46 Recently, after adding several mkv files (each of many gbs) using "file device" function in XMM, the same titles appear to be multiplied in the XMM database (in 2 or 3 copies) and you can not understand which one is actually connected to the existing file... So if you then delete some of the multiple titles to leave only one, this remaining title is often linked to a non-existent file because the original file was (mistakenly) deleted by XMM. Since I did not find (for now) no report about this bug I wonder if I can make a mistake but just do not understand what it might be. |

Beside that you can manually add a second database entry and assign the file manually to. The "don't add..." option is only related to the DeviceScanner! |

I don't know at the moment the correct english phrases as I have set XMM to german language. |
