awakening 5 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I have a large collection of movies on a server and i use Media Browser/WMC on my HTPC as a front end. Now, after moving the MediaBrowser server to a new PC, the 'Date Added' is totally jumbled. My file manager correctly displays the ‘Date added’ order. Is there a way to (re)set the dates in the movie.xml files as to match the order I see in my file manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37067 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 MediaBrowser Web GUI > Settings > Metadata > Advanced > Change "Date added behavior for new content" he's looking for a mass update of movie.xml which will currently isn't possible unless you use some other tool or script.

awakening 5 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Would deleting all movie.xml's and 'advanced refresh' work? (with correct date added setting) Thanks. Hope that works but I think it will just show the day of the scan as the date added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds right. Do you know of such a tool or script? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awakening 5 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Review: MediaBrowser Web GUI > Settings > Metadata > Advanced > Change "Date added behavior for new content" I went and changed the meta data settings as suggested, then deleted all movie.xml files as well as some database files to delete the cach. Did a fresh scan. All 2500 + xml files were newly generated, but still the date added makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 What does "makes no sense" mean? Does the date added match the creation date of the video file itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakening 5 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) No it did not. It was all mixed up, but now it works. Stopped the server. Went to "AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\data" Deleted: library.db and refreshinfo.db Next i deleted all movie.xml files. Restarted the server and used the suggested meta dat setting: (MediaBrowser Web GUI > Settings > Metadata > Advanced > Change "Date added behavior for new content") Now it is in the right order. But somehow in the process all the cast pictures are now'replaced by 'place holders. A small price to pay and i will try find a fix for that. Thanks for the help.
