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.

Simon Did you back up the database before you rebuilt it? If so you can import the data back into the recorded table. I've done this a couple of times using webmin, although I'm sure there is an easier cmdline that would do the same thing. If you don't have a backup you can still put the information into that database using webmin, you just won't have all of the description, category, etc. Always backup your database before mucking around with it unless you are willing to lose the data.

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_2005022812_2005022813.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.
