So I have an older DVR setup running Ubuntu and 13.2. All paths are in linux format and all media has locally scraped data saved with it.
I'm trying to migrate to a new DVR that will be running Windows. I can have the new system scrape all the static media meta data no problem, but what I'm trying to figure out how to preserve is the "watched" flag on all the media as this is a very large library of TV shows and Movies.
I've tried doing an export on the linux system, then changing the path from the /mnt/drive1/movies to c:/movies in the big XML file that is generated in the export. Then importing it into the windows system and putting my media in the c:/movies dir. This "seems" to work. It has the watched flags set properly and can play the media, but I can't go into the info for any of the movies or tv shows. It's not an option from the context menu.
If I manually add the path to the videos section in XBMC, it scrapes the media and will show the movie or tv show information, but then I lose the "watched" flag.
What am I missing? Is there a better way to do this?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Joshua
