How to move an entire library?

[theolaa]

Hello,

A little bit of background: I have a library with one path added, and it goes something like ~/File-Server/Movies/. I've since stopped using my home folder for media storage, and File-Server is now a symlink to /media/Media-Server/root/.

I'd like to change the library path to be /media/Media-Server/root/Movies/ (thereby no longer using the home folder, and allowing me to remove the symlinks), but I'm afraid that if I do this, I'll lose things like metadata (images mostly), trickplay images, watched status, subtitles, etc..

Essentially, I want Jellyfin to know that all my media is the same media it knew about before, just in a new location. I don't want it to think that I deleted all my old media and now I have a bunch of new media in a new location that it has to process.

Is it as simple as adding the new path and removing the old path, and clicking OK? Or will I need to go through some other process to preserve the things I listed above? Is it best to just not bother, and leave the symlinks in place?

Any advice is appreciated,

Thanks,
