Hi guys I recently decided I liked mythtv enough to buy real hardware for it, so I did just that. Parts arrived, I got it put together, stage 1 gentoo, the works. 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? Do these nv files store the tv equivalent of ID3 tags so I don't simply get a raw listing of filenames? 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.
