Moving Recordings

[welshmnky]

Hey, I just built my PVR and am really excited about it, however I just ran into a weird problem and I'm hoping I can find some help. I originally had my recordings going to C:\My Videos but I just got a 160gb hard drive and changed that mapping to D:\DVR and copied all of my recordings to the new hard drive. And now all of a sudden, PVRX2 can't see my recordings! How can I fix this? I was able to get them to play by adding the folder to the "My Videos" secion, but I'd like to be able to see them in Recordings again.
Help!!

That in itself would have been fine, but in addition to this I'm guessing you removed your recordings from their original location. When GB-PVR sees a recording file is no longer on the disk, it assumes you've manually deleted it so cleans it from the database.

I'd check if you have a recording-dump.xml in the gbpvr directory. If so, take a backup of that file as a first step. Next, edit the file and do a search-and-replace of the old recordings directory for the new recordings directory, then click the 'import recordings' button in the config app and select this file. With any luck you recordings should now be listed.

There is also this utility on the Wiki which I have used successfully.
