XBMC Database Details

XBMC utilizes SQLite, a open sourced light-weight SQL database-engine, to store all its library related data (My Music, My Videos and My Programs). By default, the database files (*.db) are stored in $HOME\UserData\Database\.


Accessing the Database via SQLite application

Database files can be transferred via FTP to a Windows-based computer and edited or analyzed with a SQLite graphical client. XBMC's version of the database engine should be compatible with the standard clients such as SQLiteBrowser or SQLiteCC, (more available management-tools can be found in sqlite.org WIKI).

We recommend you use SQLiteSpy version 1.5.2 or higher.
