Author Topic: video support files (xml, jpg) get deleted when I replace video with new copy  (Read 697 times)

I sometimes upgrade my videos to full 1080p from something lesser, usually using Sonarr to send to either SABnzbd or Deluge, then when finished downloading and unpacking, Sonarr will put the new video where it belongs, which replaces the old version.  The name is the same, the path is the same, only the video is different.

When this happens, both the existing xml and jpg files from the old files get deleted, and I (or auto import) need to "get TV & Movie info" to regenerate these files.

I don't think Sonarr is deleting these files, it shouldn't even know they exist, so I assume MC 'sees' the replacement file as something new when it gets overridden, so throws these files out.

Can this behavior be changed to keep these support files instead?
