Heya
So side but somewhat related thought. You keep mentioning adding the covers manually. If JF isn't identifying and adding the art automatically, is it possible there is a problem with your naming convention? Whenever I have to go looking for art, the first thing I check is the naming of the file and directory itself, and changing the name usually fixes that problem. Sometimes as easy as adding or removing a year in the name. I have encountered VERY few things that get id'd but don't get their own metadata / artwork. If anything sometimes I search for / edit covers and such if I want to use a box cover other than the first choice.
As far as scanning the libraries with the drives disconnected....Wouldn't that just cause JF to decide the media is gone and remove it from the interface? The same as deleting a folder from a library...it scans, doesn't see it there and pulls it from the list. I think that's the expected behavior...You wouldn't want there to be a bunch of entries for movies you no longer have.
