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.

Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...
