MC 29 not finding videofiles

1) make sure that the files aren't showing up under data or documents. If they do the delete to remove them from the library ONLY (don't choose to delete the files).
2) make a new smartlist. Name it bad or removed. Hit x to remove the stock rule. Under Modify Results choose Limit databse to and select removed and bad. Hit OK.
3) If there are entries in the smartlist, highlight them. Hit delete and remove them from the database. Refresh that smartlist. If any show up again repeat the delete, remove.
4) Try to re-import the video files.

awesome !!
Now all files was discovered, I got a good feeling then the smartlist contained massive entries, even with no items showing up in MC.
Then 200.000 entries is imported fine.
Thanks, bob !

I'm seeing a similar problem (info files showing up as documents), but the above instructions don't seem to help. I've tried it with both a Fedora 35 install, and Ubuntu 22.04. Both we're installed using the installJRMC script, which worked cleanly. The ldd command did not find new libraries in either case, and both installs have internet access. Ideas? Oh, and both are running on KDE Plasma.

Did you delete them from documents before creating the bad/removed smartlist?
You need to do that first.
When deleting only choose the first option of the delete, remove from library.

[FWIW, yes I did delete the library entries per the instructions]
After digging deeper, it's a *lot* more bizarre! Looking carefully, I discovered that there were 3 movies that were imported correctly (out of ~1000 total)! So, I:
1) Set up a test directory with 3 movies in it (one of the three "special" movies, and two other random ones
2) Totally wiped the Library ("Clear Library....")
3) Deleted all MediaCenter files from the Movie directories (e.g. Sidecar, jpg). Verified that all three movies had identical ownership and permissions on all files.
4) Performed a Single Folder Import on the test directory
Result was that the special Movie ifo was imported as Video, the other two were imported as Documents.

Setup:
Kubuntu 22.04, MediaCenter 29.0.41 installed via installJRMC script. Movies were ripped using AnyDVD, and all three movies imported and played without issue on Windows MC.
