I did something a little silly. In a rush to set up my new NAS, I was removing the old sources, and when I was asked if I wanted to remove the old entries from the Library, I said no, assuming I could simply clean those items out later.
Now, since Updating and/or Cleaning only observes shares it can reach, I'm stuck with all of the old files in the library. I've taken a look at MyVideos75.db, and whilst I might be able to slowly pick from paths to files to movies and shows to episodes, actors and everything else, I'm rather hoping there's an easier way to correct my mistake.
FWIW, the box that held the original sources was an internal box accessed over SMB, but is no longer available.
If nothing else is available, could I create a VM on the network with the same IP, create the same shares but leave them empty, then run the Clean?
