Unavaible Files bug ?

Post by martinpz97 »

Hello, i moved all my media that was on portable hard, also i moved all my MediaMonkey settings to my new PC. And i find some problem, even after i relocate the new place of all my music some of my music files are still unavaible. But they are in the disk. If i go to the disk and click it, don't have problem.

When i see info about the unavaible song it's shows me this.
G:\(the place)\001. Nickelback - How You Remind Me.mp3

But they are actually on
E:\(the place)\001. Nickelback - How You Remind Me.mp3

I have really much unavaible songs. Even when i use Locate Moved and Missing Files, they again become unavaible. The first time i use it i find much songs, and they got added to my music. But some of them just don't. No idea how to fix this or maybe i make something mistake?

Hello mate, after using the script i see these days i got soo much dublicates of some files, they are in same place and same name. Just got it 2 times in my library.
The option for dublicate files is checked but don't remove the dublicates. I don't got dublicates of all my files i got dublicates of 30% from my music.

That means you scanned the files in the "new" location before you fixed the "old" files' location. You could sort on Added and remove the recently added files as those would be from the scan, whereas the older Added date would be the fixed old files.

Use the Addon to change this for all the files.
