Easy way to overcome this is to manually edit the "platform.jmd" file in the active library folder.
Just replace "[Platform]=Windows" with "[Platform]=Linux" and save the file.

The description above works quite well until you start importing new entries to your library (given that you've restored from a windows generated library). As it turns out importing new files have the "old" windows format "\" in their filename which is a problem for automated processes like "Get Movie & TV info" as the file path is wrong.

Easy way to overcome this is to manually edit the "platform.jmd" file in the active library folder.
Just replace "[Platform]=Windows" with "[Platform]=Linux" and save the file.

This works thx!

Can this entry be changed automatically somehow when Restoring from a Windows Library in Linux?
Everything else seems to be working fine when restoring both the library and settings from Windows..
Thx

Just one thing I noticed after making the change above and re-running the auto-import.  Auto-import says all files are being added BUT The date imported is kept and no additional folder is created.  So solution works but ignores what the first auto-import log says...
