I'm trying to change the file locations on Ubuntu 15.04 with Media Center 21.0.6 my problem is that with the find and replace tool an unnecessary space appears in my file path.

Example I type "J" for find what (J:\ is not found for some reason) and type

Code: [Select]

/media/"MY-USERNAME"/FantomHD as replace with.

what winds up happening is that MC now points to

Code: [Select]

/media/"MYUSERNAME"/FantomHD /(FOLDER-WITH-MY-MUSIC)
Any idea on why this happens or anything I can do to fix it?

It's kind of hard to see what the problem is in your post because your paths are both wrapped.  Could you use code tags so it's a little clearer what the actual formatting problem is?  

It might be as simple as adding a trailing "/", but I can't actually see where your extra space is?  Is the line break where the extra space is?

How tiny is your screen that its wrapping? Are you on a phone?

I don't know why it would create a space there. Looks odd, indeed.
I could imagine its replacing the : with it, since it considers it an invalid character (and you said you are just replacing J, not J:, right?)

It's a 55" 1080p TV screen, but it's at 150% dpi scaling so I can read it from the couch.  So big screen and big font  

Maybe it's the leading backslash in the original path being processed as an escape symbol?

Yes I am using J  not J: or J:\

Does "J:" not work? It might solve your problem.

Stangely enough it says it is invalid.

Validation is probably a bit overzealous. The source pattern should probably allow it, only the target should not.
