In the past we used to add movies by just selecting a file from the harddisk.
Since the "Device Scanner" feature has been adapted, that option was removed from the drop down list of adding movies to the database.
I would really appreciate it if that option would came back, I believe it would also be an alternative solution to my device scanner's detection issues.
That function is still available its just not as straight forward as before. Go to the "Add Movies" menu item on the main window and select "Add Movie Manually". This will bring up the "Add/Edit Movie" window. Select the Files tab and then select "Add File". This will bring up the Windows Explorer dialog where you can add your movie to XMM.
