I've read alot about options to export / import and move libraries. I'm still not sure what the best way in my case would be.
Right know, I'm using XBMC on a Windows XP computer in portable mode (if that makes any difference). I will soon have my first HTPC, which I want to run XBMC Live. Now I would like to move my library (and ideally the settings too) from my Windows computer to the new Linux machine WITHOUT letting XBMC write into my existing file and directory structure.
Is that possible? Can I just copy over the DB-files (like MyVideos.db etc.) or will that be a problem? The paths to the video files on my Windows machine are \\NAS\Movies\...
Do Linux paths work this way too or will that already make it impossible?
Thanks for advice!
