I backed up all the storage directories for my test mythtv system,
which included a LOT of television recordings. I moved this backup to
the new mythtv system. All the music files and video files were
scanned in with success (ie: ID3 tags from the MP3s), but when I went
to look at tv recordings, nothing was there. Then it hit me -- "I
didn't back up the DB...DOH!" (And of course, the test sytem had
already been wiped clean.)
So...... the question is:
Is there a way to restore to the db the listing of the nv tv
recordings and png images?
No, but you can rebuild it using myth.rebuilddatabase.pl .
Unfortunately, you have to come up with the Title/Subtitle/Description,
so it won't help with duplicate matching, but at least your shows will
be available.
Do these nv files store the tv equivalent of ID3 tags so I don't
simply get a raw listing of filenames?
No.
I realize I could just move these files to the media/video area, but
for various reasons, I'd prefer them to be in tv recordings.
Thanks for the help.
Good luck,
Mike
