SageTV Import Utility

[mvallevand]

I'm really sorry to bother you again, but I am doing my final run to migrate away from Sage this week. All of a sudden when I run this utility it errors out with a 500 Internal Server Error. There might have been an update to the sagex.api. I'm assuming you are using this api for the utility. If that is so then I should be able to contact the developer of that api and revert it. So I guess the question is are you using the sagex.api?

Yes I use sagex and sage web services. Unfortunately both my sage server and the Microsoft XP vhd expired, so I will have to reinstall from scratch to test if it is my problem.

I think I may have found the problem on my system. I am consolidating my recordings to one drive and the Sage wiz.bin is confused at the moment. When I finish consolidating then I can get the wiz.bin consistent and try again.

Ok. I have reinstalled the VM and SageTV with the latest required web plugins and I didn't see any new errors. If you'd still like me to do something about importing favourites, PM me your email, and I'll contact you to get a copy of your wiz.bin and I can see what I can do.

I already have all the favorites. What I am mainly looking for is importing my recordings and tuners.

[mvallevand]

Importing tuners would be much too difficult and prone to error and changes in NPVR logic.

Maybe I don't understand the details on tuners. One of my Colossus tuners is working fine in Sage, but doesn't show up at all in NPVR. Right now the more important part is importing the recordings.

[mvallevand]

You probably should post about NPVR not-detecting the second Colossus device in the main forum so sub can help you out.

I found the problem. I'm running FlexRAID now for it's storage pool technology. Apparently it is using something that this utility doesn't like. When I stop FlexRAID then the utility runs fine.

I spoke too soon. It just took longer to error out. Any other suggestions for getting my recordings imported?

I guess I need your wiz.bin file.

There is a crash/bug in the XML output logic in the SageTV web server. I deleted the following entries using the Sage web interface and it worked again.

Heroes-Run-4077818-0.ts

However it seems you don't have have Channels configured in that wiz.bin. If you don't configure any I modified the import utility to deal with this odd situation.
