Topic: best practice: how to replace a video file with the same one, but better quality
djsh69PRO InfinityMember since 2018
Hello,

Most of my files are video files from Xtendamix. At the moment they rerelease a lot of old music in videos with better quality.
I can add the new files and with „search similar“ I find the old files.
My problem is:
My old files are organized in virtual folders, and a single file could be in several virtual folders.

With search similar I don‘t see in which virtual folders a file is.
Of course I have to assign the new files to the same folders as the old files.

At the beginning I did this all manually, but as constantly more videos are rereleased this is a lot of work

Are there any tips or best practices?

I basically overwrite the old files with the new ones. Same file name and location.

Then reanalyze, update tags then reprocess the precomputed stems.

Works a treat.

You can also try assigning search_folder to a custom button and it should display folders the songs are assigned to.
