iTunes 9 Symlinks for Movies and TV ...

Hello Everyone

I've just got myself a laptop (Windows 7) and have set my old PC up as a windows home server (WHS) there is a share on the server called vidoes and in this share I have created two folders Movies and TV Shows.

On my laptop I created a new iTunes library, and created a symlink from ..\itunes media\movies to \\servername\videos\movies and the same with tv shows. This was done with the build in command 'mklink'

i.e. mklink /d .\itunes media\movies \\servername\videos\movies

I then imported my tv shows from a external hard drive into itunes, it copied the files correct via the symlink into the movies folder on the server.

Now those files need the info changed so that they are treated as TV shows not movies so i select the files | get info | and changed there type from Film to TV show, clicked ok.

The first file copied correctly, all the others failed. The synlink had been removed!

Has anyone got any idea why?

Many Thanks

.Adam
