Reverted to an earlier Wiz.bin, now I dont see my recordings!

[mkanet]

All my recordings are still in the recording folder; however, SageTV doesnt see them anymore since I reverted to an earlier Wiz.bin. How do I import them back?

Thanks in advance!

How old is this earlier wiz.bin? If it was from just a few days ago, it should have been able to deal with the existing recordings, so I'm not sure what would have happened in that case.

It was a wiz.bin from the same SageTV installation, right? If not, then I could understand it not recognizing the recordings.

Did you keep the same properties file w/the same recording dir settings?

Unless you really need to use the older wiz.bin, I would consider going back the latest one.

Hi Andy, I did a complete restored of my entire system hard drive (which includes everything that has to do with sageTV; except for the recordings. I restored it to about a month ago. So, the wiz.bin is about a month old. I dont have the newer wiz.bin.

If it's a real PITA, I wont worry about it and delete the files that are orphaned. But, it would be nice if there is some kind of scan/import.

Do you see any recordings? Since wiz.bin is from a month ago, I figure you should at least see recordings from that time & earlier, especially if the recording dirs are the same in the properties file. The airing IDs for later recordings probably won't match.

You may be able to use the webserver to reconnect airings to the shows if they are still in the EPG now.

Almost all of my recordings are two weeks or newer. How can I use the webserver to reconnect the recordings?

Someone else will have to help with that, but the EPG history will probably have no airing info to connect to from a few weeks ago up to just a couple days ago, because your old wiz.bin was not in use during that time & thus never had that info in its database at all. It sounds like that is the timeframe of most of your recordings.

Search the Imported Videos for the files (searching for "-0" should find them!), click on each video, click [Edit Show Info] at the bottom, and then add the show/episode info... The show now becomes an Archived Sage Recording.

Note that because the webserver does not know the EPGID for the show, Sage may re-record the shows you added this way when they are re-aired.
