Export/Import Recordings

[baj1]

Okay, I tried to use this to clean up my scheduled recordings and maybe I shouldn't have. I did an export, edited the xml file to remove the duplicates, then tried to import it. It failed saying the recordings already existed. Duh. So I went through and purged all my recurring recordings and tried again. Same message. Rebooted and tried again - same message. I had saved the original export file so I tried importing that - and it worked. However, the settings for the recurring recording got hosed somehow. The pre-padding was changed from 1 minute to 2 minutes and the post-padding was changed from 2 minutes to 0 minutes. I was able to manually change this for the first 17 shows, then the details window that should have popped up when clicking "update" failed to pop. Rebooting doesn't help. Worst of all, the shows listed under recurring do not show up under "pending", nor do they show up as "red" on the TV Guide. Oh, and they don't get recorded either, but I guess that's not too surprising given the details above.

Is there a way to fix this or am I hosed? The real bummer is the shows that aren't on now (Summer schedule) can't be added until fall. Knowing me I'll probably forget and miss the premiers :-P

Thanks in advance,

The only way to get back exactly the way it was, is if you took a backup of the gbpvr.db3 before doing this.

Normally an import will pull in the 'ready' and 'recurring' recordings only. It only pulls in the basic settings, and some are thrown away. The 'pending' recordings for you recurrings will not be scheduled until the next EPG update.

Cool, the EPG update did refresh the "Pending" recording list, and the recurring recordings now show up as "red" in the TV Guide.

However, in the recurring recording list I still cannot get the "update" window to show up for any entries beyond the 17th entry in the list - ???

Thanks,
