why did my files disappear from library?
« on: February 09, 2014, 06:47:17 pm »

i have my movies and TV shows separated into folders (obviously) and everything was working great

recently i installed a couple new hard drives so the drive letters changed, i had to change auto import settings.  no problem...then i noticed on my TV that the TV shows were being listed under movies, so i figured the auto import changed some tags or something.  i went back in to JRiver and changed all the tags on my TV shows to media type TV, and now JRiver no longer sees my TV Show folder, nor does my upstairs TV on the DLNA network

i've tried importing the folder separately and it imports zero files.  i can still see the TV show folder through the Images and Audio tabs, but it refuses to show it's face in the video Tab so i can't actually play the videos

someone have a suggestion?  i'm going to be relentless on this one LOL

Look at the tag called "Media Subtype".

The subtype is set to TV show....but I can't technically verify that because I cannot see any of the files.  Even searching for them by name does not bring them up.  I've tried sharing the entire drive, every folder on the drive shows up except for the one labelled "TV show"...was it a mistake naming this folder that? 

They were in my library for months before this, and after the drive letter change they were in there for a couple days but now that I've changed the media type and media subtype, they have ceased to exist to JRiver

Edit: changing the folder name and re-importing has brought them back into JRiver, the tags have reverted back to random as well.  I am going to try re-tagging again and see if they stick around this time
