So, one of my hard drives went bad. It only had TV Shows on it, but I don’t know how to find out what specific content was on that drive. I did download a full database, and I have a SQL Lite viewer, but I don’t know where or how to find the specific content which was on that hard drive. Any help wo…

I don’t have a full query at hand. Basically you can lookup the folders from that drive in section_locations – e.g. SELECT id FROM section_locations WHERE root_path="{PATH_PREFIX}*"; (where {PATH_PREFIX} could be the related drive letter or mounting point). You can then filter media_items by those…

The server updated the libraries from the missing content, so it’s not on there anymore. I don’t think Export Tools will help in this scenario. All I have is a 522mb db file I took before they thing updated. What’s your thoughts Sir?

You are a Gentleman and a Scholar. Thank you so much!

You could check out ExportTools NG from WebTools-NG. Might be easier
