i recently did a refresh install because mysql database broke...

i still have all the nuv files but i was unable to run a backup thru knoppmyth so i don't have a mythconverg.sql

i did save the old /var/lib/mysql/mythconverg directory in hopes it
would allow me to import all my information back into mythtv

although i don't think that helped me any

is there anyway to put back my recordings into mythtv?

thanks

There is a script whose name escapes me, but with MPEG2 encoded files after you lose the start/end offsetsfrom the DB they're always problematic afterwards...

hey thanks for the reply,
i'll do some more searching...

Look in this thread

After the file is entered into the database (with myth.rebuilddatabase) you can generate the start/end offsets using mythcommflag --rebuild

Maybe with DVB recordings, but I was never able to make it work with the stuff my PVR-250 captured.

My dvb recordings didnt work either. Works great for mpeg-4 though.

The basic problem is that the MPEG2 encoded captures (either from a hardware encoder or DVB/ATSC capture) aren't real NUV files, and don't contain the index information which can be used to reconstruct the DB entries. Without the start/end marks you can still play them, but other operations become problematic, and attempts to run mythcommflag will result in the process hanging at 99% CPU usage essentially forever.
