Hi, I have quite a large number of TV Shows that don't update the ratings with this addon because they are missing the IMDB tt####### ID's.

I know I can edit and add them manually one by one using this addon, but I'm thinking it would much faster and more efficient for me to add them by editing the database directly.  I looked through the tables and it's not readily apparent where the IMDB ID's get stored.

Could someone familar with the database structure please point me in the right direction?

Many thanks!

they are missing the IMDB tt####### ID's.

Either the IMDB ID or TMDB ID should work.

I looked through the tables and it's not readily apparent where the IMDB ID's get stored.

Stored in the unique_id table with a link to the media_id.
Probably not best to edit the db for this.
Why don't you have imdb or tmdb id's? How did you add the media to the library in the first place? Scrapers or nfo files?

It's some of really old stuff in my library that was scraped using whatever official scrapers were available at the time a long time ago, wayback in the "XBMC Babylon" days or thereabouts. I guess way back then TVDB didn't have IMDB links in their data.

I see what you mean, without storing them directly beside a direct reference to the show title it's not going to be any easier to edit the db directly.  I guess I'll just chug away with them one at a time with the addon in the regular UI.

I don't really want to re-scrape my stuff as I have painstakenly curated all of my artwork over the years and don't want it all to get replaced with new/other versions.

Is there a way to just rescrape all of the data and leave all of the artwork existing without touching it?

Hello @therealjoeblow, thanks for being a user of my add-on!

Well, if your posters and fanart images are stored in the folder where the video file is, the scraper should prioritize them instead of downloading new ones from the Internet (i.e., in general, only the missing information are downloaded). @Karellen, can you confirm? In any case, to be on the safe side, I would suggest you to make a try on one single movie. 

Have a great day!

., in general, only the missing information are downloaded). @Karellen,

Correct.
Locally saved artwork which is correctly named and saved has priority.
