Hi,
how can i "convert" my library to make it Jarvis compatible again?
I'm having serious playback issues with Krypton and don't want to rebuild my library (24000 songs, all rated).
Jarvis creates a new music db file when i copy my Krypton db over, so that's a no go.
Is there a way?

Have you deleted your old db?
Kodi keep the old db in the db folder.

Yep the old db should be there unless you've manually deleted it, of course that won't include any additions since the upgrade.

Although it sounds like you may have been already messing with your Userdata folder which may have wiped your original Jarvis db.

Was it the official 17.0 release you were using? so not one of the Release Candidate or Beta releases? as there was a crashing issue that was fixed.

Every version of KODI 17.
It might not be the app itself but a compatibility issue with the Q10 Pro or Android or even artist slideshow...
but it doesn't happen on Jarvis.
I've tried RCs, test builds, nightlies etc, it happens with every version.
I stopped trying Krypton when in one of the last test-builds the back button on my remote was being unmapped.
Maybe a complete re-scan of my library would fix it, but as stated above, i'm not gonna spend weeks again rating 24000 tracks till my thumb breaks.
That's why the only solution for my dilemma would be a way to extract those ratings somehow.

Easy way to test would be to make a portable version of Kodi on your library and do a clean scan on a sample of your library (say 100 albums).
Forget about Add-ons for now, just test it and see if you still have the same problems.
I have no issue with using part mode either here.
As someone else says, you can backup ratings now online which is incredibly useful for me to have things auto backed up so I can continue to migrate my library with all the testing I do.

@DaveBlake:
Sorry i didn't give enough info - but i've had this music library for quite a while, changed paths using SQL apps etc so i assumed it was just causing issues now with the newer version or the transition to it went wrong.
I've always had backups, but i had some HDD issues recently so i lost most of them - all but one.
I'm back at Jarvis for now without issues (and backed that one up again).
So next thing i'll try is a new KODI 17 install with a new library, then a rescan/transfer of the old one etc until i know what went wrong.
Some things i've already done is testing various skins, playback with/without extra addons (e.g. artist slideshow, screensavers etc)
Concerning audiodb:
If sychronising ratings from there to KODI is possible, would it work the other way around too - syncing the ratings from my KODI library to my audiodb account? o_O

If i had a choice between that feature and curing cancer...
i'd probably choose curing cancer.
Close second though.
