Windows Media Center Recordings to GBPVR?

[gonzo90017]

I just went from Windows 7 Media Center back to Windows XP and GBPVR. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer my 225gb worth of TV Recordings to GBPVR? I have already converted all of the recordings to DVR-MS. The thing is I want it them to appear under the Recordings section. Is this even possible?

Have a browse through the WIKI for the excellent Vidimport and see if it will do the trick for you. http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Utility/VidImport

Thanks. That worked almost perfectly. The only problem I ran into is that all of the files that were imported show up as having been recorded Today.
So there is no way to tell them apart! Any idea how I can fix this. What I want is for the imported recordings to have the files record date.

This is the batch file I used:

Code:

vidimport "D:\Recorded TV\Hasta que el Dinero nos Separe" xmlin=C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\recording-dump.xml import=on

This is the log:

----> Gbpvr Recording File = C:\Program
looks to be incomplete..may need quotes somewhere..
ahh:
xmlin="C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\recording-dump.xml"
tho i doubt that will fix date problem..just checks if file was already in database..
you'd need to rename them into gbpvr's date format probably.. [ _20100218_21002200.dvr-ms ] _yyyymmdd_start time endtime]
like Hasta Que el Dinero Nos Separe_KMEXDT_20100330_19592059.dvr-ms
i had to add end time..can be arbitrary..[make an hour for all would be fine]

[gonzo90017]

I added the quotes:
xmlin="C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\recording-dump.xml"
And renamed the files to GBPVr's date format. But it's still not working. And now it went from 36 files to
56 files. Any way to remove those recordings that I renamed since they're still appearing?
Any other ideas?

[gonzo90017]

I was able to remove the old files by changing this line in config.xml from false to true.
<AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>true</AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>
Then rebooting the system. Afterwards I changed it back. I still need help on the other question though -)
