Best Way To Handle Mass File Path Change

[bugman9317 5]

Hello, I have been using Emby for quite some time, and have everything running perfect. I am moving the media for about half of my library to where the file path is going to change. What is the best way to handle this change? I made a backup copy of my Emby Database right before the move.

After the move yesterday, I started Embay up, and it started to do a scan of my libraries, but it has been taking forever. At this pace, it is probably going to take over a week to rescan. Is there a better way to do this? I also notice that all of my manually created collections are gone, but maybe after the scan has completed those will come back?

HI, do you have nfo files with your media? did you previously enable saving of those prior to moving the files?

Unfortunately, no, I don't have the NFO files for the titles.
