Sometimes my library gets messed up. I'll add a TV Show, click "Update Library," and it won't find it. There is usually some explanation (a common one is that it's new and thetvdb.com doesn't have it listed yet), but it will never re-scan that file again, so it will never be added to library. It would be great if this was changed in the future, but it's far from urgent. There are two quick fixes that I can think of that would make my library work:
* Reset the entire library. Delete some file and have it scan every file again, retrieving all new data (yeah, it would take a while, but I would let it set overnight).
* Resetting individual shows. I have some experience with DBs, and wouldn't mind going into the appropriate table and deleting the entries for a TV show, so that it would think it's newly added the next time I "Update Library." This would be my ideal option, but I have no idea where to look for the list of scanned files.
Or, if you've got any other tips for my library, I'm all ears.
P.S. It would also be awesome to have the option to show a separate Library entry of "Unknown Shows," which would just show the files it has scanned, but found nothing for. (And, ideally, you could have the option to re-scan these for new info)
EDIT: I've found that the library is stored in userdata/Database/MyVideos34.db (I'm not sure if the number matters), but it appears to only include information currently in my library. Where does XBMC store the list of files that it can skip over when updating the library? Is it based on creation date/time or something?
