Move .bif files to media path #43

Open theg00s3 opened 2 years ago

theg00s3 commented 2 years ago

I was wondering if there was a way to move all of the .bif files from the internal metadata path to the media path, because I've realised that I don't have enough space for all of the .bif files on my small main SSD.

Is there a way to move them or will I just have to regenerate all of the files myself?

If the metadata option is used it should be stored in a folder under the jellyfin-config path, so also where your plugins go. If you know where that is you should be able to use the "find" command on Linux and something like "mv /XXXX/*.bif" to relocate them

but how do I know what file corresponds to what episode, because the .bif files are in folders with seemingly random names

Hi @nicknsy, appreciate the work as always. Do you have any plan to add a feature so that one can easily move the trickplay files around (jellyfin <-----> media folders)? I recently encountered the same issue where I needed to do the migrations. Since currently they're randomly named, I have no idea how to proceed. I see others having the same issue too https://github.com/nicknsy/jellyscrub/issues/97

I have an alternate use case for this. I want to serve my trickplays from Jellyfin's data folders since it's on fast storage, but I don't want to discard them every time I move files around Jellyfin's library. Recently I had to regenerate all the trickplays for my shows because I changed the location of the library and I presume Jellyscrub couldn't find them by the old IDs.

An option to store trickplays in both places and keep them in sync would be nice.
