I have searched the forum but have not found an answer to my problem yet.
I currently have a HTPC with XBMC installed on drive C. The HTPC has a second drive (drive E) which is 1 TB and is where all of my TV shows and movies are stored. I just purchased a new computer that I am going to use as a home server. I want to remove all of my media (TV, Movies, etc.) from my HTPC drive E and put it on my new home server on drive C. I am going to keep XBMC installed on the HTPC and stream the media over my network. Is it possible to keep all of my library data (scraped information, shows marked at watched, etc.) intact and just point my library to the new location of the files?
Say my current media is located at "E:\Videos" and the new location is "\\servername\share\videos". Is it possible to open the library DB and do a Find "E:\Videos" and Replace it with "\\servername\share\videos"?
Any other ideas on how to accomplish this?
