My scheme:
I have a semi-large library, about 3k movies/TV episodes, all scraped over the years with various scrapers in Kodi v17 & v18. I have successfully exported them to separate files, so all have an *.nfo file. 99% of these movies/tv shows have local posters/fanarts.
I have successfully imported these libraries (with nfo's) into clean installations of Kodi v18.x a few times. Each time, I have set the content, chosen an appropriate scraper, and let it scrape. Kodi has always scraped them, kept the watched/unwatched status, and loaded the local artwork, while downloading posters/fanarts for the few items that don't have local art. All is good.
For a clean installation of Kodi 19 (when released) I'm thinking of using the local info scraper for the initial scrape into the library (I've tested it, sure is fast!), then setting each source to the appropriate scraper (TMDB or ?) so that new episodes / movies will be scraped correctly.
My question: Is this possible? Is this stupid?
Thanks!
