so first of all, rescan even with reinstall is not needed. you can do export on video library and then import.

the nfo files can by source of information (more or less even the xbmc library export is putting the info into nfo files if chosen so), but if any kind of information xbmc can scrap is missing, it will access all the scrap media webs to get details again.

setup with http proxy works nice, I'm using squid. but the problem is, that online video content can't be fast forwarded then (so skipping is not possible). there are some very very long how to documents how to create even media streaming proxy for such content, but requires significant knowledge and patience.

so after all, I stopped using the proxy.

btw: there is still one solution and it is with transparent proxy. you don;t set proxy usage in the XBMC(rpi), but on you gateway / router you create DNAT for web traffic to go to ip:port of your squid proxy instead + you set squid to transparent proxy mode. and the point is, you take out from the DNAT sites you use frequently and wants to be able to skip through the video. the how to is short and easy.
