Hi all

I am about to perform a clean install on my pc and was wondering is there any way to transfer my moving pictures database from one pc to another? I have spent an eternity manually inputting missing backdrops, certifications and runtimes etc and with over a thousand films I'm sure you can appreciate it's quite a chore.



Many thanks

    As long as you do not go from XP to Vista/Win7/Win8 then the paths are the same, and you should be fine by copying over your movingpictures.db3 database and the MovingPictures related folders in the 'thumbs' folder. All these files/folders are in your Team MediaPortal "User Files" folder, for which you have a shortcut in your start menu.

    Just be sure that your 'new' setup has the same drive letters and paths (UNC, etc) for all the media as well.
