Have you ever wanted to re-scrape your TV episodes but did not want to lose the database information about what you've already watched? This is a little XBMC script that will backup and restore the watched field for each Movie and TV Show in XBMC.
When run Export Watched Data will ask if you want to export or import. When you choose export it will query the SQLight database for all video files that have been watched and create an xml file in the database folder listing each by file name. When you select import it will update the watched field for each record that matches a filename listed in the xml file.
I've tested it with 9.4 under Windows and Linux and 9.10 Beta 1 under Linux.

- Can be used to backup and restore the watched data when removing the database and re-scraping.
- Useful for moving your watched data to a new XBMC box.
- Because the export file only contains file names without full path information you can re-create your folder structure and keep the watched data.
- If you have multiple files with the same name, but in different folders this script will not work for you. For example if you /Episodes/Lost/s01e01.avi and /Episodes/Monk/s01e01.avi and one is watched before you export both will be marked as watched after and import.
I've tested it with 9.4 under Windows and Linux and 9.10 Beta 1 under Linux.
