You could, alternatively, export all your data into individual nfo files. While you'd still have to go through the finding and scraping process on your new machine, you wouldn't have to do any re-looking up of info or fixing names.

This is why I've started mounting my shares via fstab. I create my directories in /media and then mount my network shares there. As long as all my front ends have the same mount points, I'm golden.

Reviving this old thread.
I have a PC with a 32GB mSATA drive (27GB usable). Between Windows 7, Kodi and Kodi's media database files, I am filled to about 23GB on that mSATA drive.
Getting a 250GB mSATA drive sounds like a super easy fix if I can simply copy everything from AppData on the existing mSATA drive to a USB drive, drop in the new mSATA, load Windows 7 and Kodi, then copy the AppData folder back over.
Before doing this, I wanted to make sure there weren't any changes between the version used back in 2012 (XBMC) and Kodi 15.2.
Is there anything else I need to know?
