Malformed database disk image 99.12

[User]

I am getting a malformed database message on screen when I try to get into recordings. Logs attached after setting log level to debug and reduction of MVP servers to 1. Any suggestions as to a solution other than to delete the database? I have many recordings and recurring and scheduled recording and hope I don't have to go that route. Thanks for any help.

Further information.... It's still recording shows and I can look at scheduled, pending, guide and recurring in web admin, but all those functions give errors in the GBPVR gui.

I tried a manual epg update from config and got this error window. Everything looks fine in config.

Sounds like your database is screwed, or semi-screwed.

You might need to do an 'export recordings', then copy empty.db3 over gbpvr.db3, then setup your capture sources again, then do an 'import recordings'.

A few people have got this in recent days. It seems to be something going wrong at the zap2it end. Luckily others have found it corrected itself a little later.

Will that retain my recurring recordings or do I have to set those up again?

No, you'd need to reschedule any recordings. Old recordings will still be listed in the Recordings screen though.

Thanks Sub. I restored a 05/29 backup of my .db3 after using webadmin to export a list of my recurring recordings. Now trying to update the epg.
I think it would be a handy feature to be able to export and import recurring and pending recordings as well.
