I upgraded to Frodo and am trying to rebuild MySQL database from the exported library backup. The issue I am encountering is that after it's been imported, I run a library update and it just scans a duplicate of everything that's already in the library. I have the following files from when I was running Eden.
- full userdata folder
- exported xbmc_videodb_2013-01-28 folder
Here is the process I am using to rebuild the database.
- Cleaned out all old databases from MySQL using the drop database command
- Transfer all of my .xml files from the old userdata folder to the new frodo userdata folder
- Transfer the exported xbmc_videodb_2013-01-28 library folder to the xbmc users home folder
- Reboot XBMC Frodo
(Once it's rebooted I can see the XBMC databases created in MySQL)
- Import the xbmc_videodb_2013-01-28 from the xbmc users home folder.
(This takes a while so I just leave it over night)
- Reboot XBMC in the morning
- All my stuff is back in there and I can play everything without a problem.
- Run a library update and it just scans duplicates of everything that's already there.
I've had this happen a few times now (I'm a sucker for punishment) and I am likely doing something wrong. Before anyone tells me I should have followed the instructions here http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...BMC_to_v12 I did try those steps and ended up with having to do the failed upgrade option.
