Hey guys, a small feature request. As it stands right now if i erase my library in xbmc and then scrape again, all the info has to be redownloaded from the internet. I find even on the fastest connections these databases as damn slow. Over the past 5 years of using xbmc ive probably had to resrape my library dozens of time (osx reinstalls, library general issues, moving hard drives, consolding drives, moving to a usb hub enclosure, moving to nas, mostly its been because my library paths change basically) and i find it odd that i have to redownload all this data and wait hours if not days before i get my library fully operational. Wth a 10 tb drive now its a duanting task to rescrape everything.
Why not have xbmc maintain a downloaded movie/tv info database separately. this way xbmc has an option that asks hey while we scrape your library do you want to use old info you alredy have downloaded since it eems youve scraped these movies and tv shows before yes or no. If i do no sure redownload everything. But if i say yes then just use the old offline stuff i have and just download anything thats not already in my offline db.
I think this would make life muuuchhh simpler.
