Where's the favorites list?

[MickBurke]

I don't know if this changed, but after installing v9 a week or so ago, I just realized that there was no EPG data. I found the thread in the FAQ that says how to set that up, and got the EPG to update, but it still listed no shows scheduled to record. I tried adding one that should have already been a favorite; I searched, found it, hit record options and rather than the option to change my favorite options, it only let me add it as a favorite (or just set it to record once of course).

This makes me think that I somehow lost my favorites list. I went to check them, but can't find it!

So I guess the questions are, where can I view the list of favorites in sage, and if they are all gone, is there any way to recover them???

Thanks for any info or suggestions!

They are stored in the wiz.bin. You can try shutting down Sage and replacing the wiz.bin with a recent version that you know was good.

Make sure you do not have the old lucene JAR file installed. You should only have one lucene.jar file in the JARS directory. If you have two delete the old version before starting Sage.

Thanks Much! As it turns out, after it refreshed the epg data completely, it was able to see them all again. Weird, but glad I didn't have to recrreate it and try to remember all the stuff that we had as favorites!

Thanks again.
