Hi!

I'm a first time user of MediaElch, having decided to give it a try since I'm migrating my media server to a Linux box. I'm testing the program on Windows 7 before I commit to installing it on my server.

I've added my Movies folder as a source, and it scanned 99% of my movies fine. The only ones I have a problem with are ones with an ampersand (&) in the path -- like "Fast & Furious\Fast & Furious.nfo" for example. MediaElch doesn't seem to find the information from the .nfo file in that path.

I've tried searching this thread for a solution, but my search-fu was failing me, so I'm posting about it.

Is there anything I do in MediaElch to get it to read these files? Or should I just rename my problem files and put "and" instead of "&"? (Doesn't worry me if I have to do this -- it's a fairly simple thing to do)

Thanks in advance!

Best way to avoid problems now and in the future would be to replace the "&" by "and". Just checked my library (using Linux host) and my favourite tool FileBot. FileBot suggests to replace the & (calls it "validate") and I haven't found any files containing an "&" in my entire library (600+ movies, 5500+ episodes).

If on Linux you might want to try pyRenamer (it is in the repo's) to replace the " & " by " and ". Note the extra spaces I have added between the quotes; it'll help pyRenamer

Good luck!

Greetz,
