Full Version: XBMC Video Library and Music Reconciliation

Hi,
I'm running a media centre using XBMC on Linux Mint 14. I have a number of Media Sources across 6 harddrives, and the large number of content items. After loading the sources (e.g Movies > Files > Add ... etc...), after scanning for new content I'm left with a number displayed by xbmc. How would I go through and reconcile whether XBMC has actually picked up all of the content ?

One thing that I did notice while scrolling through the library was that I had a number of duplicates (across different harddrives etc..) is it possible to get a movie list with their paths so that I can go through and clean up my library ?

thanks
The Texture Cache Maintenance utility can help reconcile your media library and sources.

Use the "missing" option to identify any media that hasn't been included in your media library:
Code:
./texturecache.py missing movies source1 source2 ... sourceN

Use the "jd" option and filter on "file" to extract just the movie paths:
Code:
./texturecache.py jd movies | grep '"file":' | sed 's/.*".*": "\(.*\)", $/\1/'
