Ouch I got hosed, it worked except now it has to rescan all the images from TMDB which seems unnecessary to me as the files are already in the kodi database. Is there a way to avoid this?

thanks droid

Export your existing library (seperate files per entry).
nfo files and artwork will be created in your media folder.
Clean your library and add the new source and choose local information only as information provider.
Everything with be added from your local files without rescaning anything from TMDB or TVDB or any other online provider.
You can delete later the nfo files and the artwork if you don't want them with no issue.
