    When we first setup a library, it asks what type of content it will contain movies, shows, music, etc...  How can I go back and see how I first set it up as? Also can I change the type or do I have to start over with a new library creation?

    You cannot change the type after initially setting it.  The is in Dashboard > Library, right under the name of the library.

    OK, thanks. I guess I'm going to delete the library (copy files first), recreate and rescan. I was reading the docs and it mentioned don't mix the types even though it's in the pull down menu?

    Mixed libraries are a legacy feature that is not maintained and is very buggy. And there have been discussions about removing the ability to add new mixed libraries in the future.
