Import Recordings from TV Mosaic

Hi,
I switched from dvblink/Mosaic to NextPVR and wanted to import my old records. But that doesn't seem as easy to me as I thought.
Can anybody help ?
Win 10 Server (AMD), NextPVR v5, 250GB System SSD + 4x4TB HDs via USB 3 2 Rasp Pi 3 Kodi clients 2 Win 10 Kodi clint 1 Win 7 clint

Is it just the files or do you have metadata available in a database or file?

Let's try, too simple I thought. The metadata of Mosaik are stored in a database. The excluding is not a must have, but the recording files! :-) Ralf

From their web server there is an api though. What do you see when you connect to the TV Mosaic server with
http://ip:port/api/recordings.html?utf8=1&images=1 If it is a list of recordings with metadata could you try curl "http://ip:port/api/recordings.html?utf8=1&images=1" -o tvmrecordings.txt and zip and the send the file. Martin

What do you see when you connect to the TV Mosaic server with Hi Martin, I'm sorry I don't have anything of my old TVMosaic installation. I stored only the records. I have tried the following so far - without success: + Simply copy the TS files in the NextPVT recording folder + Create a folder with the name of the recording and save the TS file in this folder + Creation of an additional XML file with the same name as the TS file. [font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]So it looks like NextPVR is still storing what was recorded elsewhere and only this is listed in the cliend app. The job I have sounds not so complicated, but now I don't have a idee: + Transfer of a file (* .ts) recorded with TVMosaik (~1,7 TB) + so that the file names appears in the recording selection list of the NextPVR client or the Kodi client.[/font] Thanks for any help!!

The lists of NextPVR recordings that you see in apps is a list from the content of the database. You can export the list of recordings from the database as an xml file ... and you can edit the content of the xml file and import the file back into the NextPVR database. NextPVR does not know that a recording file exists if there is no record for the recording file in the NextPVR database.

To bad you don't have the installation. What do the recording filenames look like?

But for my 1,7TB I cannot do this manualy. My ts files looks like: "S01E58-Betty in New York-Ruf der Liebe-1120-20201014" So we have + the season + the episode + the series + the series titel + 1120 ??? + the record date Ralf

I was writing a general scrapper that didn't get much traction here but I should be able to easily modify that to import these. 1120 is the time based on what I see here https://www.sixx.de/tv/betty-in-new-york...-der-liebe
What do movies and non-series shows look like? Are these all standard ascii or do some have accents? If accents is it CP1252? Matin |
