I just had this come up. I ended up doing the following: * Booting to the previous Myth installation * Using a Web browser on the local network to get a list of recorded programs via MythWeb, and printing the list. * Rebooting to the new installation * Using the printout and figuring out which disk file was which program You probably already know this, but the filename Myth gives a disk file for a recording is formed from the channel number, date, and starting/ending times for the recording. For example, a file named "1008_20050228120000_20050228130000.nuv" would have been recorded on channel 8, starting Feb. 28, 2005 at 12:00 Noon and going until 1:00 PM. * Renaming the files with names that reflect the content. * Moving the files into my MythVideo directory. This is probably not exactly what you had in mind -- the recordings show up in the list of videos, and not in the list of recorded programs, but you can watch them. --Tony _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
