How to change scraper when using sources.xml and clean installation - DBtun - 2023-03-26
Hi,
I've have a Kodi installation using MySQL, where have have database/files on a synology NAS and a couple of RPIs running LibreElec as clients.
It has been working as a charm for several years.
Many years ago I copied the complete Userdata folder including sources.xml file.
After that I have made clean installations to new RPI clients and the copying the complete userdata folder to the client.
If I press update library button, it works without problem.
Now to my problem:
I want to update scraper settings by going to video -> files -> <source> -> context menu. However, each source have no content set. When I tried to "set content", the scraper started to add a copy of each movie. If I try to "edit source" and setting source as "movie", I get the same problem, ie the scraper adds a copy of each movie.
How can I change scraper/update scraper settings when my sources are found in sources.xml, but all sources in the GUI say "no content"?

You add a Source and scrape your movies into the library?
What result do you want if not to scrape into the library?
