Description

This tip can be used when there is a need to change the location of a number of discs, it will allow the change to be made in one action as opposed to making the change on each individual disc. One example of when this tip comes in handy is when a new drive has been added to the system and some titles on an existing drive in the system were moved to the new drive.

Procedure

  1. Move the files and folders to the new location using Windows explorer

NOTES

  1. Make sure My Movies cannot find the titles at the old locations. For instance, if drive V: is mapped to \\Server\Share and the original locations were entered as V:\Movie but you are trying to change the locations to \\Server\Share\Movie, make sure to unmap drive V: before changing the location in step 4.2, otherwise My Movies will not detect that the locations have changed.
  2. There have been reports on the forums that the detected discs do not always include the other discs on the selected title, the reports say you must manually change each disc on the selected title.
