Here I have a movie named The Borrowers which is remade in 2011 while the original is from 1997. First I add the 2011 version to my database and in my mediacenterdir there is the new dir entry 'The Borrowers'. Later I add the 1997 version to my database and I still have only one mediacenterdir 'The Borrowers' which contains only the specifics for the latest entered movie, the specifics for the 2011 version are gone...
You are right... there is a reason for that. The mediaCenterDir use "folders" for every movie... as you know cannot exist two folders with the same name...
A way to avoid this problem is to change the name of the movies, maybe adding the year in the titles for these issues only.

Hi Alessio,
Thanks for the respons! I understand how to circumvent this behaviour but I would rather see the software give a directory name like ie. The Borrowers (1997) and The Borrowers (2011) instead of doing that in my catalogue. In the past you gave the directories inside the mediadir an extra database entry number which wasn't ideal indeed but the addition of the movie year might be nice ?!
