I have a Synology NAS 923+ that holds all my media that my cat, yes my cat, managed to pull the plug from the NAS. After restarting both the NAS nad the Vero V and going to my Movies, TV Shows or Music all the artwork shows but all the directories show no entries. Example would be The Righteous Gemstones 0/30. All the shows are still there, is there a way to delete the databases and let rebuild from scratch. As an aside if I use file view it will show the seasons as well as the shows and play fine.
Cheers, Al
See this thread - Reset media library and others, search for ‘reset library’
Via SSH -
systemctl stop mediacenter
rm ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/MyVideos116.db
rm ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/MyMusic72.db
rm ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/Textures13.db
rm -r ~/.kodi/userdata/Thumbnails/
systemctl start mediacenter
That should remove your libraries and leave everything else intact.
Once you do this you will have to SETUP YOUR SOURCES AGAIN just as you would from a clean install.
Edit sources.xml to remove original sources or use a context menu (3 horizontal bars on remove) to remove sources
Add them back again with media>library>manage sources taking care to navigate to root folder/mnt points
You could just “clean library” and “update library” no?
Seems easy enough, will give it a shot.
Thanks!
I tried this 2 times, same results.
Is the connection to the NAS working?
Yes, renamed (not removed) the files as recommended, reboot, re-added the sources and then…magic.
Thanks to thechrisgregory, Kontrarian and Sam!
