Recommendations for flipping between instances

[Jamie Chapman]

I was going to write a bunch of scripting to enable flipping between two instances but decided to cancel this after doing a clean install of 10.11.2. The latest production release is working really well compared to some of my previous attempts with the 10.11 RCs.

If anyone knows off the top of their head if it is necessary to clear out metadata located with the media when flipping between versions, I would greatly appreciate it.

I've seen that some others run two concurrent instances of Jellyfin at times, and although they did not mention whether they were running two unique sets of media, my guess is that they were not, and that both instances were using the same metadata in the media folders.

In my experience, when I have left the metadata with the media, and swapped in different Jellyfin versions, media naming (show names) gets out of whack, even after successive library scans, which is why I *think* it makes sense to keep unique metadata per instance, which is what led me to think of writing scripting that can automate the moving of these many thousands of files to and from backup/media folders.
