I mean as it stands now, there are duplicate images, and they are consuming HDD space.

No, they have not. Use a single folder with MC and it works fine.

Thanks, got it.
Darn, that's not going to be easy to test.
I suspected that you might be using network path for actors, and this is where the error message is coming from.
Can you check you can access the network path that you are attempting to save all actors to?
You'll probably find in the movie folder you have a .actors folder., but you are also saving to
\\WIN-KQ5RIVJIMRB\My Pictures\XBMC\.actors, and this path is probably a protected folder, which MC can't access. (guessing as the folder is called My Pictures.

This has happened to me a couple times. Did you delete or change the episode file then rescrape? When I did a refresh, everything showed up in the list correctly granted my nfo's showed the right info). Is it just that way in the list, or are the episodes scraped wrong too?

No, I didn't; I had a previous nfo created from MediaElch though.
Just that way in the list.
I deleted the nfos, refresh and rescraped. Problem persist.

I want to utilize the central folder now.
What If I have the folder on a shared drive and the drive changed.
How will I modify all the necessary nfos?

I am interested in getting a copy of the MediaElch scraped tvshow.nfo, as well as the episode nfo's so I can check MC is playing nicely with nfo's created by other programs.
It won't ensure that MC nfo's will play nicely in MediaElch, but ensure MC can correctly read their nfo's.
Please upload and PM me a link to these nfo's for download.

There's no easy way to switch to a Central Actor folder if already scraped to .actors.
If you no longer want the .actors folder, then delete them.
Setup MC for Local Path and XBMC Path, and use the Batch Rescrape Wizard to rescrape and download actor images to the new location.

I will do this now.
Just one more thing... Is this different for the .Actors in the TV Show folders?
I mean this setting is in the Movies settings, not the General settings.
