Luke 37022 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hi, what you need to do is use Emby library setup to remove the old folder, and then add the new one. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37022 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hi, just click on a movie in the web app and see if the detail screen contains a link to MovieDb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37022 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Ok, if you follow our backup procedures: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Backup And IF your titles end up with the same imdb/moviedb/tvdb id's following the library scan, then yes, user data will be preserved. Local nfo files are something that could have helped store the identifier information. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
