multipath's in my database
#1
i have database that I have accumulated over a long time now not sure which version it started off at. at any rate i have number of multipath entries in my database that don't have any content set. what are all these paths and does it affect my lib scanning speeds?

files are really linked to real paths and not multipaths,

what is the reason for multipaths to live in the path table in general ? just for "set content" purposes?

Nope, you don't need them.

And yes, they're there for content purposes.

I also have another question.

I see a lot of paths in the path table that don't have any files associated to it.

can i safely do this?
Code:
delete from path where idPath not in ( select idPath from files) and path.strPath like '%movies%'
, all my movies stored in folder structures that have the word movies in them.



I notice a lot of TV shows are in this is it because

Code:
path\to\tvshow\season 1

will have two path entries

Code:
path\to\tvshow\
and
path\to\tvshow\season 1

my assumption is that we need the path\to\tvshow in there to store the hash for the underlying dir structure to detect changes.
