Hello,
Today, I made a change to my XMLTV grabber config, and wanted to re-load the EPG. [The change in XMLTV grabber only tried to get more titles split into subtitles correctly].
Since I had a previous problem that caused updating from the try icon to crash, I went into the config utility, edited the capture source, and hit Update-EPG.
The update appeared to complete successfully, and I returned to the list of capture sources (I had 4, for tuner + 3 line-ins of my PVR-350). The list was fine. I pressed OK, and the recording service was restarted.
I then started the frontend GUI and it said "Configuring ..." etc. There were no channels at all, so I entered the config utility again, and found out that all capture sources, and channels disappeared. All other settings appeared to be in order, though...
Very strange. I reconfigured (some 10-15 minutes of work, no biggy, but frustrating, menial work), and of course all season recordings were gone. The "Recordings" button also had nothing visible of the recordings I had stored. This itself is no big deal again, since I can use My Videos with correct configuration of a directory, but the whole thing is just plain weird, and not fun at all.
As a first-aid measure, I'd like to ask for a utility that backs up all databases, etc. I can then run the config utility from a batch file that first saves the settings, and if this happens again I can resotre things and see why this happens.
Any comments? Thanks.
