Upgrade to OSMC from Raspbm

You would want to back up your library first using the export separate files option, (chose no to saving artwork) and then when you add sources on the new install it will read the nfo files and import the last watched status. Another option would be to use Milhouse’s texturecache.py utility: One of its many options is to export watched status out to a file and import it again later. When I migrated from a standard install to a MySQL install I tried a few approaches and the one I finally use…

Thanks. I added the TV show source, i validated the “scan” from TVDB, didn’t get back my watchlist status.

Also make sure Pi 3 and Vero 4K are on the same
version of Kodi (i.e. Krypton)

They are

Great answer, thanks. That’s what I was really looking for!

I think you may need to use TextureCache.py for watched status. I don’t remember from the top of my head.

If some of my folders already contain an nfo file, will the backup overwrite it? Or will the files be stored somewhere else?
My library is still 50% a big mess unfortunately.

I simply use the Trakt addon. Create an account on trakt.tv and fill in your credentials in the addon on your RP3.
Do a library scan and sit back, it will take some time to set all the watched statuses in your account.
After it is done, i would recommend a reboot, it will do another full trakt update. Then you are done.

Then replace the RP3 for the Vero, install the addon and fill in your credentials, it will update all watched statuses in Kodi

The backup copies the library, addons and user data (such as settings) as is.
It won’t touch NFO files but will not back them up. NFOs should be on the remote share or drive hosting the content.
