I can't seem to find a clear answer for this. I want to completely clear out my movie library so that there are no entries in it at all. Then I want to rebuild the library, by using new sources (new shares).

I've tried the "Clean Library" under System, Settings, but that doesn't seem to do it.

So: how do I do this. Do I need to exit XBMC and delete a file somewhere? I found that by deleting "mymusic16.db" removes my music library, and so I could go to Music, Files, add my new source, and tell it to "Scan Item to Library". So that will rebuild my music library.

Still don't know how to clear out only the movie portion of my videos library.

Thanks

The exact same way. The video database would have been the myvideos*.db. You'll want to get rid of all of them.

So there's no way to just clear the Movies library? If I delete the myvideos*.db, I'll also be deleting the TV show library, which I don't need to clear. I'll have to rebuild both Movies and TV Shows libraries, and that's more time consuming than just rebuilding one library.

delete * from movie; would move someway towards it. You'd also want to clean up the movielink* tables as well, and then the tables they link to.

That's a SQL command? (or SQLLite) Yeah, I don't feel comfortable doing that. :-) Oh, well, I'll just delete the myvideos*.db, and let it rebuild overnight, I guess ...

Thanks

Just export your video lib to a single file/folder structure, then delete all the movies from the resulting XML file (and probably any paths from the path section of said XML file).

Then kill your db files, reload XBMC so it recreates them, import from your editted XML and you now have your TV shows back.

Go to your "sourcefolder" C(menu)->Change Source->none

That sounds like a good idea! I will try that later. Thanks!
