[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 1068412, member: 103549"] Hi To simplify - TV side uses SQL connection to 'external' DB service. As far as I know, ALL other plugins [native or installed] use DB files not SQL based connection. So, in Client, you have database subdir, in there you have your DB's for Movies, MovingPictures, MPTVSeries. On upgrade 'standard' , these are untouched, if you do a full 'clean up' before new install, you loose them unless you back them up [actually, you will want the DB files AND the thumbs dir, as this is where all the download images are]. Then on a new, clean install, install MP, then the plugins you want THEN put DB files & thumbs back, when you restart MePo, your plugins have all the correct DB's, so you have access to the media.
