Backup of media collection

[sergium 0]

Hi, everyone! Is there any way to backup media collection. I mean more like metadata - cover, descriptions, playlists and other. For example, if I want to transfer my collection to another computer, is it possible to do this?

The backup plugin will get some of that to include playlists, playstate, users, etc.  Storing your metadata with your media and using nfo files should get you everything you need to transfer.  I did this when moving from Windows and the only hiccup I recall having was that I had to mass replace the paths in my playlists.

Playlists and Collections will be an issue.  If you're using the BoxSets plugin to build your Collections those will get automatically fixed.

Here's a couple of knowledge base articles about this specific issue and how to manually edit them.

It's basically the same things for both of these so if you've ever edited one, you can easily do the other.
