Hey y'all,

Is it possible to configure which scraper a source uses via the XML config files? This wiki article talks about changing the scraper with "Set Content" by pressing "c" when in the GUI - but I'd rather set it manually in my config (which is under source control).

Thoughts?

Thanks!

You can set it in a database export (to single XML file) but that's it.

Thanks for the reply.

So is it stored in some binary file somewhere? Is that why I can't set it in XML, and must do it via the GUI?

[jmarshall]

It's stored in the database.

I know this is an old thread but I have found that Set Content has frequent problems... across multiple versions I've had Kodi "forget" the assignment I've done and I have to set it up again... this happens about 5-6 times a year.

Would be nice if we could set this in Sources.XML ... which seems logical. Then upon loading, Kodi will overwrite what is in the database to ensure we don't have issues

I think it would be easier to identify the real issue and fix that instead. Something like what you've described won't work with shared profiles, MySQL, and probably some other situations as well.
