Is there a way to move media library folders while preserving metadata and watch history?

[Arthur0 1]

Hello,

I would like to move all files in my media library to another subfolder, for example, from

/video/movie/film1

to

/video/movie/UHD/film1

How should I proceed to ensure the metadata and watch history for the media in this library are retained? I want to avoid having to re-scrape the metadata after the move.

Can I simply move the files directly and then rescan the library?
