Hi there. I'm running NPVR 3.7.7.
I had to move all my recordings to a new drive because my original drive was failing. So the drive letter has changed and a few of the recordings have been lost. I changed the record directory in NPVR settings, but it's still showing old recordings in the recording screen.

Is there are way to rebuild the metadata/database to now only show the recordings I have?

Thanks.

Ok. A quick update. I've been able to solve half of my problem.
From within the settings I exported the recordings. Edited the XML and corrected the drive letter. I then imported the edited XML, which means I can now find the legitimate recordings.
What I can't do is remove the missing recording. I tried deleting the records from the XML and importing it, but just keep getting the message "No recordings imported".

How can I remove the missing recordings from the recordings screen please?

Do you still have the default <AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>true</AutoRemoveMissingRecordings> in your config.xml file? If so, it'll delete any recordings it finds that don't have a file in the location it says it does.
