Migrated content to new server - cannot change path in emby library settings

[bry 12]

I searched online and checked the wiki and did not see anything about this. I did however see that emby uses the content IDs so that should maintain the library structure. My concern is the watched status for myself along with other family members.

 

Currently my library uses 

 

\OldServer\Movies

\OldServer\Tv Shows

\OldServer\Music

 

Under Dashboard -> Library -> Movies -> Manage folders ->

 

When I click the old path \OldServer\Movies in an attempt to change it to \NewServer\Movies the text box is locked.

 

Is it as simple as deleting the old path and adding the new path with no loss of data?

 

Thanks.

Hi, yes, it usually is. User data is saved based on Imdb / Tvdb / Tmdb Ids, so as long as your content has that, then we will be able to preserve the data.

thanks for quick reply. is there any particular order? Delete first then add new source? add new source delete old source?
