Viedo Library Question

[ldavis]

I have recently moved my SageTV server to a new computer and have an interesting problem. When I moved the server I copied the SageTV directory from original computer to the new computer and now with no Video Library directories selected, I have the all the files and directories showing on the menu. There seems to be no way to deselect them. At present, it is not a real problem since I can map the video library drives to the same letter that I had on the original computer, but I would like to resolve the problem for the future. I am using the Mlbdude stv though I am not sure if this is the cause of the problem. Does anyone have a clue as to the cause?

See this FAQ entry for some info regarding moving recordings from 1 system to another. Essentially, SageTV cannot 'see' the locations where the files used to b, so it thinks they may still be there. You can create some mapped drives for it to notice the recordings are no longer where they used to be, but first be sure to add their current locations as video directories & use the property to tell SageTV that all media files are local (esp. if the computer name changed).

Thanks,

All I had to do was make all media files local (sage.prpoerties) equal to true and Sage immediately dropped all old locations. Great help.
