I export my library as multi files, so most information Kodi needs is pulled locally. That's great, but let's say a movie/tV show just came out and there's not many reviews for it. A few months later, the rating in the NFO file could be drastically different than what is on TVDB/IMDB/TMDB.

Does Kodi ever "refresh" information like this, so when you export the library your NFOs will be more up to date?

If you're using local NFO files, then Kodi reads from those, but it never tries to find updates. If you use one of the internet scrapers, then if you manually refresh a TV episode, TV show, or movie, then the information would be updated from the scraper source.

So is there a way to tell Kodi to refresh ratings/descriptions/etc on the entire database without affecting my local art or watched status? One at a time isn't ideal when I have over 4,000 things.

I notice if I do the "single file" export it doesn't include NFOs, or any text of any kind. The "videodb" file is a 0kb txt file. This method seems bugged, as there is no way it will correctly backup a database with simply images...?

Also, I am not seeing any form of "watched status" in any of my NFOs when exporting via "Seperate" files either. How is Kodi going to know what i've watched or not when I import the database? EDIT: Perhap it pulls from <Playcount>?

I use this tool: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=158373

With the 'imdb movies' and 'set' functions, I update the ratings for my movies about once every few weeks.

Code:

<importwatchedstate>false</importwatchedstate>  <!-- import previously exported playdate and playcount from .nfo files. Defaults to false -->
