I assume a quick question - is there any way to keep the movie DB when upgrading? It's really time consuming to rescan the movie shares, pick the proper cover art, etc., each time I upgrade.

Any ideas? Or am I sol?

As long as the database didn't change, you can keep the VideoDatabaseVn.db3 file in your database folder.

And you can always keep the thumnails in your thumbs directory - I recommend always backing that one up during an upgrade, even if doing a clean install.

I uninstalled MP, made sure no sub folders were left n any programmes folders, changed the computer name, rebooted, installed MP and set logs and rebooted and ran TVServer.
