XBMC Database Details

XBMC utilizes SQLite, an open sourced light-weight SQL database-engine, to store all its library related data (Music, Video and Program databases). 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.

• HOW-TO: Use your computer to edit XBMC's (SQL) database-files.
