Quick question. Where are all directories .id3 tags are stored?

[canukguy1974]

 I have been trying to search my system and google but, I can't see where I should look. I have built a new system with new hard drives and I originallly stored my .id3 tags and I would like to import them back into system. I am not sure if this will work but, I want to try. So if you could please tell me all the locations where the .id3 tags are and how I update the database so I don't have to do all this again. Thank you. If this is a really easy answer I apologize I have been looking though.

When I copy .id3 tags into the directory which holds the media, they populate the grid.

so just put them in the same directory as the movies then.

Hi canukguy,

id3 files that contain the meta data about the video/dvd they refer too are created in /home/public/data/videos automatically and in any sub-directories beneath that. Just copy them plus the video files they are linked too over to your new drives /home/public/data/videos directory and updatemedia will find them and populate the DB and your cover-art and meta data will appear in the Orbiters media browser screens. This may take a several minutes or more to appear in the Orbiter depending on the size of your media library.

All the best
