Moving from version to version - nightlies - ccfc1986 - 2014-03-14
I am currently running Alpha 12 13.0 on all of my systems - my XBMCbuntu, and Raspbmc systems. This is so that i can share a single library between all 4 systems in my house.
If i wanted to upgrade to the latest, it looks like it uses different tables etc. Does this then perform a full scan of my library sources? Will i lose track of current watched episodes etc? I am referring to this document:
MySQL Shared Libraries - Versions
As you can see, on Alpha 12, i use music45 and video78 tables. When i move to the latest versions, beta 1+, it will using video78 but music45. Will it automatically migrate data from the previous to the new as part of the upgrade process? Or are they completely standalone?
Thanks!!!!

It will upgrade the databases. You shouldn't lose any information.
Obviously new information added to the database will no longer visible to older xbmc installs, so you want to update all xbmc clients together.
