Why did you send empty.db3? Would it be easier if I gave you a utility to copy your v4 colours to v5?

Nah ... Windows File Explorer says the zip file is empty.

I spent a long time editing it, but apparently I forgot to save it. Nowhere to copy colors from. I remember ther being a table to select colors from and this is what I selected:

Travel Row 2/Column 8
Nature Row 4/Column 3
Movie Row 3/Column 6
Biography Row 6/Column 2
History Row 1/Column 2
Documentary Row 4/Column 2
Technology Row 1/Column 5

Does this make sense to you?

If you don't have the v4 npvr.db3 I can't help you.

And no that doesn't make sense. The EPG colour table in npvr.db3 uses hex values in the epg_colour column for the genre in the name row.

Fraid not .... The colours are specified as numeric values in the table as shown ...

That I've done already. I'll just have to remember to save it this time.

Zipped it. Copied the zip file to another folder and unzipped it and it was not empty. Still no genre color in Guide

Nah ... nothing was attached ...The forum silently ignores attachments bigger than 2 MB.

How can that be? The zipped file is only 135 KB and when I attach it the attachments area of my submittal says 2.04 KB out of 25.13 allotted usage quota.

We recommend starting a new thread for each new issue to minimise the risk of confusion.

You appear to have confused genre colours in Emby that uses a file with rows in the format ... type="48" subtype="0" ... with the the database table used in NextPVR that uses hexadecimal numeric values.

I am not sure ... but this might be the format used in the NextPVR database table ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGBA_color_model#RGBA8888

Do you still have the NextPVR V4 database? You should be able to copy the values from the V4 database to the V5 database?
