Little background, my old Kodi box (Android) was my main media box for a long time running KODI 16. All media files stored on my file server over the network (NFS).
Before switching, I exported the library successfully (images and NFO files).
When I setup my new box, I setup a fresh mysql server so I can manage everything centrally between the two boxes. New box is running LE v8, I’ve successfully configured it with advancedsettings.xml and sources.xml and that part works fine.
What I was surprised with though is that the box did not import the watched state for any video, which from what I’m reading it should have done from the NFO files. I even checked in the NFO and it clearly states the watched state.
Thinking I might be missing something, I started to search about updating watch states and stumbled upon the official WatchedList add-on. Installed it on the old box first, connected it to mysql, told it to update, success.
Went to the new box, installed the add-on and updated…
To my surprise all the move states worked like a charm! TV shows though was another story.
It seems that it was complaining that the TV shows didn’t have an IMDB number or something to that effect for about 90% of my shows… so all of these shows didn’t seem to transfer the watched states.
I decided to go one further, I manually updated my lists by selecting/changing the watched state through KODI, yet still after setting up my other box to use the mqsql DB they still won’t sync.
At this point I am at a loss, and I can’t seem to find any more relevant info when I search, so any help would be appreciated!
