You may need to refresh the movies in the database to fill in content that was not available in an earlier version of the database. Such as "sets" which is now supported out of the box in Eden, but was not in Dharma. I'm not sure what the best process for that would be.
Before actually hitting the button just wanted to know the last few queries ;
I am planning to export the database from Dharma, to either single or separate files, and then uninstall Dharma completely. Then do a clean installation on Eden. Please guide for the following
1. If I export from Dharma v.10 to a single file, then would it also export the Movie Poster/Thumb and Fanart in that single file too. If not, then if this single file is imported in Eden v.11 then how would the movie thumb and fanart would be updated.
2. If I export from Dharma v.10 to a separate files, then supposedly it exports the movie thumb and fanart file to the movie folder. How can this separate export to multiple folders, be imported in Eden v.11 and would it read movie thumb and fanart from the folder (not to be scraped again from internet).
3. In case of following method 1 or 2, does it also keep the track or flag of watched movies intact, to be correctly imported in Eden
4. Do I have to keep the movie sources as the same in the Eden installation as they were in the Dharma installation. For example on my setup on Windows 7 -32 bit, there are two SAMBA network shares from a NAS mapped as local network drives with drive letters W and X. What I assume is that this relative or absolute path
X or W :\Movies\English\Movie Name\Movie File.xxx is also exported in the database. These two shares are then added to a single XBMC source called "Movies Collection" which is used to scrape and locate movies.
So if after installing Eden, i change the mapped drive letters or reassign new letters, then would the whole database be inconsistent ? Is there any way to fix it or it should be avoided pricipally to keep the database import intact.
Any other precautions of migrating the database from v10 to v11, please mention.
Thanks a lot.
