one file missing!?

I've been using Serviio for a while now and i think its great but recently i have come across a file which will not show up in the movies folder. I can view the file if i open it via the 'folder' option but it does not appear in the movies folder. The file is a mp4 format.

Any Ideas?

Re: one file missing!?

I have checked the file on the movie database website and the movie is in the library also i have renamed the file but still it does not show up in movies folder. However via the folder view the movie is there with the correct thumbnail pic so the file is picking up the correct metadata?

Any ideas?

Re: one file missing!?

you have to change file name to match whatever it's called on themoviedb.org

Re: one file missing!?

That seemed to do the trick. But its strange as sometimes the filename isn't anything like whats on moviedb.org but it finds it?
