How to export and sync tv shows and movies in Kodi library

You can export in two ways

1. Export movies and tv shows (with manual updates for tv shows)

This mode involves manual export of each tv show/movie through the context menu, in this case new seasons or episodes must be updated manually.

Some tips:

• To export, open context menu of a tv show and select Export to library.
• To export new seasons/episodes, open context menu of a tv show and select Export new episodes.
• To force a tv show update, open context menu of a tv show and select Update inside library, this function will completely delete all files exported of the tv show and export them again.

2. Export movies and tv shows (with auto updates for tv shows)

This mode involves manual export of each tv show/movie through the context menu, but with scheduled automatic updates for the search for new seasons and episodes.

If you decide to use this feature pay attention to the notice written at the end.

How to enable the automatic updates:

• Open add-on settings, and go to the page Library
• Auto update mode set to Scheduled
• Perform auto-update set how often updates are performed
• Time of Day set the start time, if when open Kodi the time has already elapsed, the update will still be performed at a later time.
• Only start after 5 minutes of idle if turned on updates will only start when you do not use Kodi for at least 5 minutes. If turned off updates will start when you open Kodi.

Where are the exported files?

By default the files are located in the add-on user data folder with a path like

…\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.netflix\shows
…\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.netflix\movies

but the full path may change depending on the type of operating system, the file path scheme is viewable in Kodi Wiki https://kodi.wiki/view/Userdata

For easier an access to your exported files, you can change the default path and choose a custom one.

So in add-on settings, go to Library page and:

• Turn on Enable custom library folder
• Click on Custom library path, to set up your preferred folder
• Select your preferred path (in the path selection window press the back button several times to have full access)
• Create a new folder like "Netflix exported", where within it the add-on will create two new subfolders shows and movies

WARNING: If this setting is changed after you have already exported tv shows or movies, you must reset the database data! This implies the loss of all exports!

To reset database, in add-on settings, go to Library page and:

• Select Delete library contents

NOTE: if you are an experienced user, instead of resetting you can move the folders of the files manually
