Any way to import "already recorded" programming from WMC to NextPVR?

[Zeb]

I deleted a few of the folders (keeping the database intact) to keep the file size down - so hopefully whatever file you might need is in there.

At least for Windows Vista, the directory was C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\Recording and the file Martin would've wanted is named Recordings.xml, and contains entries in this format:

Code:

<OneTimeRecordingRequest ProgramID="!1868FF52F61FE145DD10E767FC49A19C!" ID="5" Title="NOVA" ServiceID="28459804" ScheduleID="&lt;SEID SrvID=&quot;28459804&quot; SourceId=&quot;0&quot;
PrID=&quot;!1868FF52F61FE145DD10E767FC49A19C!&quot; Start=&quot;2011-12-22T02:00:00&quot; Duration=&quot;PT2H&quot; ChID=&quot;9&quot; /&gt;" Resource="00000000-0000-0000-0000-00000"
PrePadding="-120" PostPadding="180" HardPrePadding="0" HardPostPadding="0" KeepUntil="-1" Quality="3" UniquePriority="6" Guaranteed="true" Complete="false" ChannelNum="9" AnyChannel=
"true" HDPreference="16" CreationTime="2011-12-22T01:01:14.78Z" AnyLangauage="false" PrototypicalLanguage="en" SourceName="" ScheduleLimit="400" TooManyScheduled="false"><Recording
Program ProgID="!1868FF52F61FE145DD10E767FC49A19C!"><RecordingScheduleItemID ID="12"

Any chance you omitted that from your eHome upload? Granted, Windows 7 Media Center is probably different in many ways.

Cityeyes included that file but that is the equivalent of the recurring recording and not the episode itself.

Yeah, the files are renamed from the generic .wtv to a format that XBMC picks up.

Is this what you need?

Again, thanks so much for your help. You've seriously gone so much further than necessary.

It's a hobby for me, and I have most of the code already so it's fun not work.

Here you go, you need to import the deleted.txt file in the attached into the recently_deleted table in npvr.db3 as follows in sqlite3

You will need to increase the deletion history for the recently_deleted table though

Code:

.separator |
create temp table simpsons(x,y);
.import deleted.txt simpsons
insert into recently_deleted(unique_identifier,create_date) select * from simpsons;
drop table simpsons;

If you don't know how upload your npvr.db3

I also included all the simpsons episode numbers if someone needs them later. It looks like The Simpsons is older than the file numbering scheme.

Martin, forgive me for criticizing your volunteer work here, but by this method won't cityeyes have to make his <DeletionHistoryDays> setting essentially infinite, and thus never record any previously deleted episode of any show ever again?

[mvallevand]

Yes that is why I wrote it in bold. I considered adding them to the recordings table but NextPVR's Recordings interface is so awful for handling large multi-season stuff and mkv files I felt this would be best.

My .db3 is here - I'm a bit nervous to do it myself as I haven't messed with database stuff a lot, but let me know if it's pain and I'll try to learn it at least.

What would this mean? I'm honestly fine with stuff that I've recorded in the past never being recorded again since I transcode nearly everything I'd like to keep and delete the rest after I watch it once. Don't ever plan on recording stuff I've deleted in the past.

Here you go. I had a bug in my instructions anyway.

You are awesome. Thanks so much for your help!

Wish you had a photography question or two, because that's my area of expertise. I don't often seek help with tech stuff like this.

Thanks again.
