Replicating minidlna files.db to another server


Problem is following :

Is there any way to replicate files.db? I've tried copying it, didn't work. To rescan the full path again on the non-working part, it needs a lot of time, and I would like to avoid it. Or is there a simple way to edit/modify/fix the original one?

Could somebody give me an idea how to handle?


Solution

  • While editing files.db with sqlitebrowser, I noticed the path in some tables were totally different on server A and server B.

    After changing server B to the same directory structure, I copied files.db from server A to server B. No more scan is needed on server B!

    Now on server A if new film or new mp3 files is recognized and added to the database, it is suffice to transfer only the new files.db to server B.
