Can't Uninstall The Movie Database Scraper

  • I'm trying to uninstall a scraper add-on in my LibreELEC installation (on a 4GB Raspberry Pi 4). The add-on is "The Movie Database" (version 5.3.0), which is marked as "broken - no longer maintained". Best I can tell, it has been replaced by "The Movie Database Python" (version 3.2.0). Unfortunately, I cannot figure out a way to uninstall it, as that option is not available (dimmed) when get Information about the add-on.

    I tried rescanning my media drive using the Python version as a scraper, and that worked great -- but it killed a lot of my metadata (like my ratings), and I don't have a way to easily reconstruct that.

    Can anyone offer me some advice on how to uninstall this add-on, and make the Python version the default scraper -- without losing metadata? Many thanks.

    I assume this is related somehow to this posting:

    I'm having the same experience as this poster, so I thought perhaps I could just uninstall the old scraper, but as I mentioned, with no luck.
