A watchdog for movies on HDD ar verry good to find canceled movies or erroneous data or exchange data.

example :

I move the movie "Blade" from folder "unseen" to Folder "seen".

D:\unseen\blade.avi to
D:\seen\blade.avi

EMM must this identifi

Well, that's a good idea. But not easy to implement. XMM has to compare with name (could be changed) and filesize (rare but can differ, too). Reading the codec info, I don't know, but there could exist different movies with same info. Maybe a hash checksum will resolve that. But then you have to generate it for all movies and you have to compare it with "no longer" existing movies in your database. As solution I would prefer a combination of the checksum and a manually comparison by a generated list where the user at the end of a scan has to chose which of those old/new movies really are the same.

In order to achieve what is possible, you have to try the impossible over and over again.

Hello Rick,

Sorry for delay... have you add these 2 folders to Device Scanner? because XMM should automatically detect that you have move the file.

Please let me know,

Ale

HI
Hilfe: Die Antwort kann ich nur auf Deutsch.

Überwachung funktioniert.
Vorraussetzung: der Laufwerksscanner ist beim Programmstart eingeschaltet.
Neue Filme werden sofort erkannt.
Ist keine Festplatte angeschlossen logisch, werden keine Fehlenden Filme erkannt.
stecke ich eine Festplatte an, dann zeigt XMM alle Filme der Nichtangeschlossenen Festplatten als fehlend an.
Mann müste die Erkennung (z.B. Medialabel) mit einbeziehen um auch nur die Filme der Angeschlossenen Festplatte zu bearbeiten.
Macht sonst keinen sinn

Danke Rick

Hi Ale
This funktion is very good .

Proplems:
when you have "duplicate Name"(movies)in the database and many harddrives
(to imply a request of MediaLabel, movie ID, Media, FileSize)for better Identify

Greetings and best wishes

rick69

i love your good work

Hi Ale
I think it would be A singel button to find defunct movies on HDD is better.
When you to use many HDDs, you must say "scan (media-label)HDD to losed movies.

so in my case I have multiple drives and they are all connected via USB.
They are all mapped as drive Z and only have the drive name different (External 1 to External 27 now).
If we scanned the drive every time it would show some as missing because the drive wasn't connected.
so this adds a complication to Ale to try to please everyone.
Originally I did each drive by a different drive letter but I ran out of options doing it that way..so scanning by media label (all different in my scenario) works fine....I also filter by media label

Hi
Genau: Die Sortierung der Filme sollte über MediaLabel erfolgen.
Der Laufwerksbuchstaben sollte als Variable programmiert werden.

Hi
Exactly: The sort of films should be about MediaLabel.
The drive letter should be programmed as a variable.
