- Perform database backup and recovery
- Reorganization of data or eliminate database fragmentation (export, clean/remove database, re-import)
- Move data between Kodi databases on different platforms (eg Widows to Linux)
Music Library
This page details how to Import and Export the Music Library.
See: Import-Export Music lIbrary
Video Library
This page details how to Import and Export the Video Library which consists of:
- Movies- Metadata and artwork
- TV Shows- Metadata and artwork
- Music Videos- Metadata and artwork
See: Import-Export Video lIbrary
Note: You cannot selectively Import or Export parts of the database.
A Note on Artwork
The optimized image from Kodi's Artwork/Cache is exported, rather than the original full-quality image, so it is best to avoid exporting artwork if at all possible.
An easily understandable explanation of the effects of these optimizations can be located in the forum here.
