Hi

I have just installed nextpvr for use with xbmc, at the moment i use mediaportal and have a large number of tv recordings, i tried importing them into nextpvr but the import fails, no message just a pop up box with says the file was not imported. NPVR.log just has the line:
2013-03-16 20:50:03.797 [DEBUG][1] Import Recordings: C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV\20 Biggest Selling R'n'B Hits... - 4Music - 2013-03-11.xml
If i select the .ts file i get a message saying metadata not available.
Is mediaportal importing possible?
Any help appreciated
Rob
Importing like this is for NextPVR (and maybe GBPVR) and without metadata importing loses most of its value, why not just play them from the NextPVR Video Library?

If you dump the MP database to a txt/xml file I might be able to modify one of the import utilities I have written to handle it.
