[Milhouse]

MilhouseVH - I finally decided to just nuke my whole database as there were lots of of deprecated references including tons of paths to an old server I migrated from a while back, I re-scanned everything and used your app to restore the watched status, play counts and last played dates. Worked pretty darned good. One thing I noticed though is that there were a hand full of problems during the restore. I think most were due to mismatched names. For example the movie name was Lucky # Slevin, but because of character restrictions in file names I was forced to name it Lucky Number Slevin. I'm assuming it read the movie title from the db and then tried to find the file and couldn't?

There were a couple others it errored on where I couldn't see any naming discrepancy on them. All told I think I had around 20 movies where your utility didn't restore the watched status. Not a big deal at all, but thought I'd let you know in case you were able to fix it.

Thanks again for this wonderful utility. It is a truly useful tool!

Yes, it's using the name of the movie (not the filename) to match when restoring watched status - also the year. So if the movie name or the year changes between backup and restore, that particular item will fail to restore.

You should be able to re-run the restore - it will only attempt to restore those items that failed previously, and will ignore those that were successful - if you add "@logfile=tc.log @log.verbose=yes" on the command line and upload the log I'll try and determine the cause of the failures, hopefully it's not a coding or logic error. I'll also need to know which items failed to restore.
