Hey there! First post here, and please excuse me if there's already been several on my topic. Did a quick couple searches but nothing popped up.

My server's movie files have been copied over to a new hard drive on a Synology NAS, and I'm wanting to connect everything together with Chameleon Media Center. I think the primary issue right now is that the file paths for all of my movies are still related to the old server (I'm seeing \\Old_Server\VideosShared\Harry_Potter_1 for example, when it should be \\New_Server\Whatever\Harry_Potter_1).

Is there a way I can easily change everything over, or am I supposed to do each movie one at a time? I'm really hoping I don't have to do that, because there's literally hundreds and that's a massive time sink. If anyone would mind helping me here, I'd really appreciate it!

For reference, the current setup is CMC on PC1 -> CCC on PC1 -> My Movies 5 on PC1 -> Media stored on Synology NAS. CMC and CCC are properly picking up the old file paths from MyMovies based on the database file I copied over, so I think the pipeline from CMC to My Movies is functioning correctly.

What if the app is not prompting or doesn't appear to be updating them? Are there any troubleshooting steps to take?

Paul can help you on the CMC website and his email regarding mymovies troubleshooting too. He has helped me several times with this specific issue.
