    Default Changing path of a movie

    Hi everyone,

    I bought a BB a month ago, I connected a hard drive directly with USB.
    So now everything works fine, every movies & tv shows are correctly listed (this was a bit hard, because i have a lot of french movies...)
    BUT...
    I'm going to put my hard drive on my network, and i need to know if this is possible to change the path of all my movies. Or am I going to lose all ?

    Don't know if I'm clear, but if you have an answer -> Thanks

    Your best bet is going to be to clear the media database (Settings>>System i think) and have Boxee re-scan / re-identify everything again as there's no way to manually update previously scanned items with new locations.

    Even if you don't clear it, when you scan the new location they should show up and the old location won't show up when not connected. This is how it seems to work with the two USB drives I use when taking one of my Boxes with me. If they aren't connected those items don't show up with my network content. And when I have the box at another location, only the content on the attached USB drive shows up in my Movies list.

    If I have the USB drive connected and it's also connected to my network at home, then when I select a title from the coverart, it will show both locations and I just select whether to view the title from my network location or the USB drive location.
