Title: Auto-Import problem
Post by: TunaOnToast on January 08, 2012, 12:28:50 pm: After upgrading to JRMC17 I seem to have a problem with importing video files.
All video files imported are being tagged with Media Type "Unknown". I have had this issue from time to time before when using JRMC16, but then I was able to change Media Type manually by re-tagging the files. This I can not do now. When opening the tag window only 3-4 fields are show even when selecting "Show all tags".

I've tried to remove the files, both from the library and from the disc, and then adding them again. Still get the same result.

Anyone else had the same problem?

Some of these clips are in .MP4 format and imports just fine. The issue seem to be with .MKV and .AVI files,

Are you using 17.0.62 (or newer)?

Thanks.

Post by: TunaOnToast on January 10, 2012, 02:30:24 am: I was able to get around this issue by creating a smartlist that shows files with Media Type "Unknown". Then I could change the Media Type.
I will try to re-install MC and see if that solves the problem.
