Reorganize Library Structure and keep status

[zebo51 22]

Right now my biggest folder is media\Movies (Bluray)\Moviename (year)\moviename.year.filetype

If I were to move everything into folder letters to make it easier to maintain will I loose all my watched/played statuses etc?  Images, nfo etc are all stored in the associated movie folder.

media\Movies (Bluray)\0\Moviename (year)\moviename.year.filetype

media\Movies (Bluray)\A\Moviename (year)\moviename.year.filetype

media\Movies (Bluray)\B\Moviename (year)\moviename.year.filetype

etc

If so, anyway to do this to keep the played status or least painful way to make this transition?

Thanks

Emby tracks that played state by providerid not path so moving media is not a issue.  Only items with no providerids will lose status as there will/are track by a custom db id that gets deleted when moved.

Other option is manually updating database and library files.

Great it worked.  I did have a few that showed back up as not played but not a big deal on those.

So what is the provideredid and is that something that can be seen in the GUI or stored somewhere accessible?

Thanks

It would the TMDB, TVDB, IMDB ids and yes you can see these per item.

Oh yeah I know those IDs in the meta data.
