Importing existing videos

[madbrain]

How can I import existing videos ?

I just have a set of TS files in a directory tree structure (not flat directory). They were recorded with Plex DVR. Plex did a pretty horrible job of being a DVR (no power management was a killer), and was way too unstable to continue to use, unfortunately.

Is there a way to easily add all these TS files to the NextPVR database ?
I tried to add a media folder to the root directory for that tree structure, but that had no effect.

My NextTool utility will do this but if possible could you PM me a link to you Plex database https://support.plex.tv/articles/2029152...y-located/ and I can see if I can import more metadata.

Thank you very much for the kind offer ! I will look at this. Have to restore it from backup first as I have obliterated everything Plex from my HTPC after finding out Plex Media server doesn't support power management for DVR recordings. I will PM you.

Ok thanks.  Hopefully I can get something from it

Note NextTool only supports 5.2 NextPVR

Then take your time with the conversion, as I have rolled back to NextPVR 5.1.4 . I just cannot live without close captions.
