recordings list empty after Recordings Drive swap.

[morser]

Well, almost empty, One entry shows up.

I have done these steps before successfully to upgrade from a smaller drive to larger:

I keep the recordings on a separate drive. I shut down GBPVR + recording service, used robocopy to copy all 600gigs of OTA recordings to the new drive. I then rebooted, making sure GBPVR and the RS did not load. I removed the old drive, changed the drive letter of the new drive and confirmed the path to the Recordings was the same as before.
When I load GBPVR and view the recordings, there is only one entry, where there used to be over 50 before the disk swap.

Is there anyway for GBPVR to re-inventory the recordings folder? Or what am I missing here?

FYI, at the time before I did the drive swap, i had another XP workstation map to the GBPVR directory and perform a backup with the native backup program. Just wanted to add everything I did during this upgrade.


Thanks much.

Not sure what went wrong as I have done the same thing a few times as well, but I edit AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>true</AutoRemoveMissingRecordings> to false first.

Just import your old recording-dump.xml through the config plugin tab & as long as the files are there they will all show again with all data.

Thanks. when i import that file, and some recordings have occured since then, will they still exist? Is this import an overwrite, or an addition to what's already listed?

Addition to what you already have.

It's fine - only entries not in the database are imported.
