Ok so here is/was my setup:
Acer Revo running XBMC live, streaming media from my home computer on Windows XP.
Everything was working 100% fine, but I had to go be an ass and update my computer from XP to Windows 7 Ultimate.
Now, my Win7 computer name was different, so my shares werent working, so I renamed my Win7 to my XP name, and the shares still werent working. I did some Win7 share tweaks to get them to be able to share, but am now running into this problem:
I "lost" all the movie information for all my movies (about 130). I re-did my shares and now XBMC can see my Win7 machine and all the shares, but my Library on XBMC is screwed up. I never backed it up (dumb move) because I figured that it would just rescan and use all the scraper info already in my movie folders like before.
But when I go into Movies from the main menu, there is nothing listed, until I take it out of Library mode, and then I can see my Movie shares, but no information is available (video size, movie cast, etc.) UNTIL i right click on the movie, and go to Movie Information, then press Refresh. Then if I back out of there, and go back into Movies from the main menu, any movies that I refreshed show up in Library mode.
Now, I can manually go through and do the refresh for all 130 movies, but thats very time consuming... and for my Music which had the same problem, there was a button for "Refresh Library" which did it for all my music...
so my question i guess is, how can i get my movies to go back to normal and show up in Library mode using the already scraped information in their respective folders
Thanks!!!
