Hi All,
I have the following setup:
- HTPC Running XBMC
- SERVER Running MYSQL (Which holds my xbmc video and music db)
- OLDNAS Storing all my media content
- NEWNAS Which will eventually hold all my old media content plus more (as i am expanding storage)
Anyway, I dont want to have to re-import and lose all my meta data such as watched flags etc. but will need to change the library path from "\\OLDNAS\TV Shows" to "\\NEWNAS\TV Shows". I am under the impression that changing the library source will cause xbmc to re-import all items essentially duplicating them.
I am comfortable with SQL and my initial thought was to update all the paths in my video library. Then change the library path in xbmc. Would this result in the same thing happening? If so what other options do I have? Thanks for all your help.
