Scans your source folders for movie files that are missing from your library.

Have you ever added a bunch of movies to your collection and then days or weeks later thought "I remember adding that movie so where the $%^& is it". If the Movie Info Scanner (TMDB, IMDB) can not find your movie on-line it will be skipped, if it is skipped it will not be added to your move library and it will not show up in your movie list.

This add-on should help track down movie files that are not added to your library, you can then rename the directory or file and run the "Scan for new content" on your source again.

Install it
Now available in the official repo
Videos->Addons->Get More
Scroll down to Missing Movie Scanner, select it and select install

Run it:
- Start XBMC
- Under Videos->Add-Ons
- Select "Missing Movie Scanner"
- Use auto scan to scan you Movies or TV source paths

Testing:
I have tested on windows with a few hundred (450 odd) movies on a selection of network shares and local files.
All these moves were mostly singles files with a few in multi file stacks for the one movie.
If you use this add-on please post your results as this is still in testing mode.

Problems and Bugs:
YOU NEED A LOG FILE
To submit problems and bugs create an xbmc log file.

- Turn on "Debug Logging" in the Missing Movie Scanner Addon Settings
- Reproduce the problem and then shutdown xbmc
- Upload the log to http://pastebin.com/
- Post the link to your pastbin log to this thread or if you prefere PM me witht he link
- Along with the log provide a description of the problem

Logging Tips:
On windows the xbmc log is under your user profile folder, on my windows 8 machine it is here:
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\xbmc.log

This log is overwritten every time you run xbmc so make sure you turn on logging, reproduce the problem, shut down xbmc and then grab the log file without rerunning xbmc as it will overwrite your log file then.
