Moving directories
#1
Hey folks!

Im using Kodi to stream files from my NAS in the Network, which I had changed a little bit in the past.
Actually I moved the TV Shows and Movies to an other directory.

When it has been

smb://NAS/Folder/TV Shows

it is now

smb://NAS/TV Shows

The same with the movie section.

My Question is now: How can I tell Kodi to use the "old" already existing TV Show information for the "new" folder. Normally I would just update the stuff/download it again, well the problem is that my internet is a little bit weak at the moment. Furthermore I dont want to waste space with the "old data".

Using: Windows 7
Kodi Version 15.0
Aeon Nox 5.7.3

Thanks for your help!

This isn't a skin question.
You can do it with a path substitution in advancedsettings.xml.
Wiki guide.

Something like:
Quote:<advancedsettings>
<pathsubstitution>
<substitute>
<from>smb://NAS/Folder/TV Shows</from>
<to>smb://NAS/TV Shows</to>
</substitute>
</pathsubstitution>
</advancedsettings>
Add another substitution for your films, or whatever else has moved.

Stick the advancedsettings.xml in the userdata, reboot and it should work.

It wasn't a grumble, just an observation - as in 'you'd get more views if...'
