Migrate recordings from Windows to Docker

[ewiemann]

Hi,

I currently have a Nextpvr installation on a Windows 10 machine and I want to import all my recordings to a Docker version on a Synology nas box. But unfortunately it does not work.
The filepath is different, and the import is not working. I have copied all the old recordings to the new Docker installation recording directory.

Does anybody have an advice?

With kind regards,

It should work, but you'll need to update the paths in the xml file to match what NextPVR will see them as inside the docker. ie /recordings/....

I did something similar (Windows to Docker, just not on a Synology NAS). As sub indicated, I had to manually edit the XML file so that the old Windows file paths pointed to the new UNIX file paths on Docker. The larger pain is that Windows uses a different directory separator, so as I recall I had to do a couple different global search and replaces to get it all working right. But it did eventually work.

Thank You very much. I will give it a try.

With kind regards.
