How to backup my movie database?

PaulKersey · 2008-06-22, 11:08

Hi! I need to re install windows, mp, etc.. and i need to backup my database.

Can you tell me how to backup and restore my video database? I'm using win xp

Another questions.... is it possible to start mp directly in my videos folder?

I can watch folder.jpg in my movie directories, but only in list view, i'd like to watch it in big icons format..there's any solution ?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Files your looking for are VideoDatabaseV5.db3 file and the thumbs folder, original xp install, these were in c:\program files\team-mediaportal\mediaportal
With the new RC1 install these are found here C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Appdata\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal

Just copy them over to somewhere safe, so they can be restored back to their original paths, database and thumbs folders.
