MySQL and .nfo editing
#1
Hi there.
I'm running multiple copies of xbmc Eden on various clients. Everything is set up to use mysql and it's working pretty good.

My movies are on a NAS, with the usual folder structure
Movies
-Movie Title
--movie.avi
--movie.nfo
--movie-fanart.jpg
--movie.tbn

Every client has the same path in the Library: by doing this, I get pros of mysql (viewed status, resume from....) without the cons (since every movie information is stored locally, navigation through movies is pretty fast without any lag).

I would now like to edit some .nfo, change genre, create sets and so on. What should I do?

This is what I thinked about
1) scan al movies with a fresh copy of xbmc on my pc and edit them with XWMM
2) export the local db in separate files and overwrite them (so that every movie gets correct edited .nfo)
3) again, run a fresh copy of xbmc, but this time set up to use mysql db, so that the db gets populated and hopefully edited with this scan.
4) remove share and add them again on every client.

Do you think I'll mess up everything? The only thing that worries me is that xbmc, in presence of an edited movie, would create new mysql entries rather that modify current ones.

Any hints on that? Maybe it's much more simple than that Wink

thank you
