Loaded v 6.1.4.230625 /no prior recordings

[edindovina1]

So, I finally went ahead and loaded the new version of NextPVR from my prior version of 4.? 

I have used NextPVR in my Kodi HTPC for the past 7 years (I originally ran TVheadend) and it has been flawless.  

Anyways, I loaded the new version and it did not bring over my previously recorded programs.  I set the folder to the same, etc... Tried to import them but to no avail.

I did recover them in my Kodi by assigning them into a separate media source so its not that I lost them completely.

Any help?  I did have to uninstall my prior version of NextPVR completely because the new version would not load until I did so (error message). 

I realize that its no big deal but the OCD tech geek in me wants it to blend in (yes, I'm the guy who will keep tweaking his Linux and Windows programs until they look and operate with everything).

Other than that the new version works fantastic so far.  

Thank you

Recordings are not automatically imported for v4 to v6 You might have had better luck if you used the update instructions on the wiki. You can use the NextTool utility to import old recordings and video files also explained on the wiki. If you have your old v4 npvr.db3 you can get back all metadata others it will depend on whether you have xml files.

If you are using Kodi only and not the web player for playing recordings I strongly recommend turning off thumbnail generation in web settings.
