TV Recordings appear in Videos

[ttdberg]

I recently migrated my SageTV setup to a new computer with a fresh Windows7 / SageTV7 install. It is a single machine attached directly to the TV and acts as both server and client. Before migrating to the new machine, I had loads of TV recordings created on the old SageTV6 machine. Most shows were recorded with SageTV6, some with SageTV5 and maybe even SageTV4 (the machine was around for a very long time and had been upgraded several times).

Anyway, at the time of migration, I copied all of my SageTV recordings from the old machine's hard drive to the new machine's hard drive. I did not bring over any other components including sage.properties or wiz.bin. Then I installed SageTV7 on the new machine, and configured the folder where the TV recordings had been copied to as a video recording directory. I understand that doing this effectively treats the folder as both a recording directory and an import folder. At this point, my hope was that the next library scan would recognize the recordings I had copied over as TV Recordings, and they would show up in the SageTV interface as such. However, they are all appearing as imported videos in the Videos area.

I kind of thought this might happen, based on some previous experiences, but after reading a few other related posts recently, it seems as though Sage potentially should have recognized the files as TV Recordings and categorized them as such. Anyway, that's not what happened here, unfortunately.

Is there any way to get them out of Videos and into the TV Recordings area, and if so - how? I'm hoping it's at least possible, no matter how tedious the process may be.

In case it matters, I do have the setting "TV Recordings in Import Directories are: Recordings"

Thanks for any help.
