Hi,
My NEXTPVR machine is currently running MS Windows V7 and NEXTPVR V4. As Microsoft are ending support for Windows 7 on January 14, 2020, I am considering moving the NEXTPVR machine over to Ubuntu and NEXTPVR V5. My current setup has windows installed on a separate drive to the recordings. Both drives are NTFS formatted. I have some spare hard drives, so do NOT need to update in place, however I am not sure I fully understand how to move the recordings over from WIN7 to LINUX.
I would appreciate comments as to whether the following would work:
1. run 'export recordings' on the WIN7 machine,
2. run the script referenced in this forum to correct the filenames for LINUX
3. install Ubuntu on a new drive
4. replace the Win7 boot drive with the Ubuntu drive
5. Install drivers for my Hauppauge WINTV-quad HD capture card
6. Install NextPVR V5
7. Import recordings form the XML file with the corrected filenames
8. Copy my recording files to a new hard disk formatted using a linux native format (i.e. not NTFS)
9. Make sure NextPVR points to the correct location of the recording files.
One thing I am not sure of, is how do I export / import my recurring recordings list (or is this part of the XML created by the 'export recording' option in NextPVR)?
Many thanks for your help, it will be greatly appreciated.
