How to change movie folder on PC

Post by libero »

Hi,

Does anybody know if it is possible to change the drive where movies are without the need to rebuild the DB (ie not loosing all the info from IMDb and the other sources ?)

Thanks

My HD broke. I need to move my whole Video folder frome z:\video to f:\video
I had all my movies with metadata taken from IMDB and i would like not to redo the whole thing. Is there any way ?

I can save the metadata, rearrange the monitored folder to the new location and then load the metadata (Metadata loaded succesfully), but the movies have lost all the infos.

Perhaps I make some wrong steps.

ok, it saves metadata (wmi files) only for the movies that are in the right path, the ones that were on the failed Hard drive are not saved. I can see them in the list with all the infos, but they do not get saved (no wmi file generated for them).
Is this right ?

Select the fodler in "Folder (Movies)" - click "Save metadata (cl)" or "Load metadata (cl)"

Description
Save metadata for the current list of media resources
