Then in a few years there are thousands... Well, no big deal. It's just that optimization part of my thinking that shows a little red blinking light here.
Quote:There is lots of scenarios to consider. For example, what about those people that start out with a recording drive, full it up, decide to add a second drive and set it as their new recording drive, but have no intention to moving the recordings files off their old drive (ie, they'll have recordings in multiple drives).I did adress that issue earlier. If one can specify a number of root folders then the program can check every one of them for the file.
Quote:There is also lots people, myself included, than download load a of tv shows, and insert the shows into the database as a recording, even though they're stored outside the recordings directory.That too would work with multiple root folders.
