How do you guys deal with XBMC db version changes? I'm kind of stuck. A while back I upgraded my Live to a unstable PPA version (compiled 2/9/11) and the other day, I went to upgrade to the stable 10.1, but when I do, it won't connect to the mysql db and the log says the db is newer than expected. So I then went and grabbed a latest XBMCfreak 10.1 and it says the db is old. I read a bit about this being a problem with the unstable/nightlies, but I didn't know that when I "upgraded". I played hell getting my system back to the 2/9/11 version so my db would work
Have any of you dealt with this? If so, how do you upgrade to a new db version smoothly? I know you can export the to nfo files and re-import that and even keep watched status, but what about the playcount and last watched data? Will that be maintained too? Even if it is, it is still time consuming to re-scan everything into the library again. Is that the only way?
