Best way to replace an existing file with a different extension?

[podonnell 47]

Hi,

I have a .webm file that I want to replace with a .mp4
I named it the same exact name but I'm not sure if the .nfo file is going to link up because of the new extension.

Ideally just looking for a way to replace the existing file with my new one without losing metadata.

What's the best advice?

Thanks!

Just move the .webm and .nfo file to a backup location (just in case) put the .mp4 in the folder then trigger a metadata update on episode/file via web interface.

The NFO does not actually reference the file directly, it's more that it gets associated to the video file based on the name. So if you replace the webm with an equivalently named mp4 it will just update the NFO.
