Is it possible to relocate the kodi databases, for movies, tv shows, videos, music, pictures, etc?
I'm having issues with a slowness in browsing the media folders. It seems almost as if Kodi crashes but it's not. It's 'compressing databases'.
It seems when ever I go into my media folders, mostly because I want to correct, re-scan, change scraper, etc. it almost crashes to the point where windows thinks it has crashed and asks me if I want to wait, or close Kodi.
It would really be nice, and a great feature, to have a
Master
Slave
-- mode. In that machines set as Master maintain the database. Those that are set as slave, access that database.
Of course have a field to point the master to look to a particular drive:\folder
And if slave, to point that machine to a master (browser smb? )
I have quite a lot of movies ripped. Been doing it for a long long time, storing so I can be lazy and have them at my finger tips.
I don't want to say how many I have, and many will say that it doesn't matter but I see the difference in speed from an I5 16gig ram, 512gb SSD to a I7 super fast, 32gig, 512gb ssd
My main, living room HTPC is the faster. The bedroom has the slower.
They both fetch from a large NAS that is 10gb fiber to an L3 switch (what can I say, I'm a Cisco engineer)
Any helps, info, etc would be great. If I knew the config file that the database locations were stored I could edit.
But, i'm not sure if Kodi would want things back to default and overwrite my changes.
Thanks!
