How to copy my movie database without losing metadata

[Freekverheul 6]

I have created a Film database of 1500 DVD's in MP4 format. Emby found a lot of metadata however I had to correct about 100 metadata. When I make a copy of the external harddrive where the MP4 files are located, I have to do the work all over again. Does anybody know how I can copy this external drive without losing the metadata and use it on another embryo server?

Hi.  The best way to do this is to save the metadata with the media in NFO and image files.  Did you enable that option?  This is especially important if you rely on a lot of customized metadata.

Hi, I want to add that 100 out of 1500 mis matches is a lot and my guess is that the folder/file names you are presently using aren't following our guides.

Can you provide an example of a couple of file names you're using that don't match correctly?

You are right after reading and setting the marks it works
