I've hacked together a tool that can copy Season Record schedules from GBPVR to NPVR.
It's only been tested with GBPVR 1.3.11 and NPVR 1.5.24 so if you have another combo,
tread carefully. Backup the npvr.db3 file before using it.. If you have a standard NPVR installation, that file is located in C:\Users\Public\NPVR.
I made the tool for my own use, so it's rather techy and not the most user friendly tool that has seen the light of day, but I've added some help texts.
One key point is that the tool needs to "map" the channels between GBPVR and NPVR, i.e. it needs to figure out what id a channel in NPVR has in GBPVR. It tries to figure out this mapping on it's own, but if there are channel names that differ between GBPVR and NPVR, you have to do some manual input.
There is a preview step before actually modifying the NPVR database. This is probably of no use to most people, but it will generate some XML where those so inclined can see if the data seems reasonable...
Anyway, hopefully it will be of use to some of you...
INSTALLATION
Just unpack the zip file to a separate directory, then run GBPVRtoNPVR.exe and follow the instructions.
