I am moving to a new much more powerful computer. I have 650 recordings. I had them spread over 2 drives. I copied them all to a single drive and changed the drive letter and folder name for where they are stored so that it will agree to the new box. NextPVR does not see these recordings unless I import them individually. This would be a major pain. Is there a script to run where it will import the recordings? I do not want to change anything else in the setup such as channel mapping and so forth. The new environment will have the clients running Kodi and the NextPVR add in referencing the IP of the new server. Thanks for your help.

Take the C:\Users\Public\NPVR\recording-backup.xml from your old computer, edit the file using 'search and replace' to correct the paths, then import the recordings from the updated xml file.

Thanks Sub I now have the recordings back on the existing workstation. I have copied all of the recordings to the new server. I think the next step is to install NexPVR on the new box and copy the following files to the new machine so that I do not need to configure the tuners, channels and recordings:
config.xml
npvr.db3
recordings-backup.xml

Is there anything else?

Thanks

John
