Cannot import recordings as zip

[VCR58]

From scratch I wanted to rebuild my NextPVR database on my Linux PC and before doing so I exported my recordings. After getting everything set up I tried to import my recordings I had previously saved. However, I could not get it to work. Sometimes, when browsing and selecting the recordings zip file, nothing would show up in the "Import recordings" field. After repeated attempts the file name would show in the "Import recordings" field but when I hit the "Import" button the response would be "Localhost says" and it would be blank.

What I ended up doing was to extract the zip file and then import each file separately. 

I tried this same exercise except I exported and imported the recordings from a windows PC web client remotely. From a windows web client I could import the recordings zip file (previously exported and saved on the Windows PC).

Your setup is wrong you may have installed as root.

I was logged in as a user when installing NextPVR along witheverything else. Used the Linux instructions from the forum.

My setup seems to be working...

The account you created from did not have a home folder. Anyway that is another issues.

2021-08-15 20:38:09.750 [ERROR][1] Recording directory does not exist: C:\Users\Public\Videos\

As far as I can tell from the logs it worked but that is as far as I want to take it

2021-08-15 20:49:19.800 [DEBUG][79] Import Recordings@exit: 462 recordings imported.

Perhaps you need to restart the server to see them if there is caching.

Ok, thanks Martin.
