Using Kodi 17.3 with LibreELEC 8.x on a Pi2. My Movie and Series database in Kodi is build from "local information" (NFO-files). I manage the nfo files with some external programs.From time to time I update them: e.g. modify genre Tags, move the movie (with its nfo) to another folder, delete a movie, ...The reflect that nfo-modifications in the Kodi database I have to delete the source or change its content type to none and then create it again or set its content type again to Movies. This causes a deletion of the complete database and it's recreation.This is to much for just one updated nfo file.Could Kodi store a timestamp or hash-value for each nfo file to check if it was modified or not?
