[mythtv-users] Keeping IMDB Number

[Doug Vaughan]

Steve,
    If you have the skills to apply your ratings back then base the 
updates on the videometadata table's filename field instead of the 
IMDB#. The only time the filename field will change is if you move to or 
away from storage groups. You could do a special extract before moving 
to 0.23./trunk, by IMDB and get the rating and the filename values. Then 
change your update to key on the filename field and change the rating 
field to your own values.

Not the most convenient but essentially what you are doing now anyways. 
When you move to 0.23/trunk you can go further by using the hash field 
as the key instead of the filename field as the hash value us unique and 
would be the same for storage-groups and non-storage-groups. Jamu and/or 
MythVideo will do a mass updated of the hash values after the Myth data 
base is updated for the 0.23 changes. Do your switch to hash values 
after the hash values have been filled in.
