How Is The Watched Status Stored?

[mbc0 68]

Hi,

 

currently I have the following file structure on my server

 

HPSERVER/TV Pool

HPSERVER/Movie Pool

HPSERVER/Motorsport Pool

 

etc..etc

 

I need to change this (for XBMBC3) to 

 

HPSERVER/VIdeopool/TV Pool

HPSERVER/Videopool/Movie Pool

HPSERVER/Videopool/Motorsport Pool

 

etc..etc

 

Obviously the file path is going to change & I am concerned about the watch status & how to best move all this data?

 

Can somebody please offer any advice?

 

Many Thanks

As far as I know watched status is no longer tied directly to the file location, but more to the name/id of the video. So I think it should be fine, but let's get Luke or someone to confirm that.

For things that have global IDs from places like tmdb or tvdb we now use that ID to key user data (which includes play status).  So, moving the physical location should not lose this information.

Thanks Fella's

 

I will test this with a few folders first to be safe :-D

Confirmed Working Perfectly!

Is the Watched Status based on the server account?

 

E.g. If I use an account named "Bob", will all the watched be synced regardless of where "Bob" logs in from?

Yes that is correct.

I keep two locations master bedroom and livingroom both logged into the same user on MBS via MBC3 but I have to log in and out for the watched status to update, is there a way to set a polling interval to update the two machines watched statuses?

Not at this time.  I believe the server sends out notifications for user data changes though so we can probably sync them up.  That is just one of those little things that hasn't been tied up yet as I've been working through other major features.
