The metadata is all kept in the Vero itself in ~/.kodi/userdata. You can replace the drive and retain everything as long as the new drive is using the exact same file path as the old drive. If you bring up the information screen on one of your videos and highlight the “refresh” you should see a file path for that item that i’m guessing is something like /media/something/movies/somevideo/somevideo.mkv so a new drive with the files named the same should only need the drive named the same so in the previous the drive would need to get named as “something” so it looks to be the same as the old one. Alternatively you could manually make a system mount to force this, or you could add a path substitution to an advancedsetting.xml to redirect to the new location.
