    OMG, it worked!

    Here, also all movies were doubled after the scanning, but removing the original (and empty) Library folders cleaned that up!

    I am up and running on the new disk!

    I am very grateful :-)

    I was a bit in hurry and didn't check enough movies...

    Now I see that metadata is still broken, see screenshot.

       

    Sadly, I am fully moved now and added more movies and stuff.

    I am forced to redo everything: Identify movies and shows, give them better names.
    I very much hate this.

    A migration really should not be impossible like it is now.
    I even wanted to try Plex, but I cannot even try the software without creating an account. And don't use software that requires an account creation, so that is out too.
