Argus TV to MediaPortal Database Sync
=====================================

This package is an adjunct to the wonderful "FTR to MP Sync Script" package developed and contributed by hairlesshobo.
It addresses a shortcoming when you are a FTR/Argus + MP user and want to use WebMediaPortal... specifically, FTR/Argus TV
recordings do not show up in the MPExtended interface because it looks in the MP Recordings table, and that is empty if you are doing your recording with FTR/Argus.

The original script assumed you were using MySQL for your database and performed a one-way synchronization from the FTR/Argus Recordings table to the MP Recordings table.  Unfortunately there are some specific differences between MySQL and SQL Server that prevent the original script from working if you are a SQL Server user.  So, in short, I ported the original SQL script and batch file for use with SQL Server.

I humbly acknowledge and give all possible props to the author of the original script on which this work is based, hairlesshobo.
I merely took his existing code, modified it to work properly with SQL Server instead of MySQL, and polished things up a bit.
I hope that my work in some way honors his contribution to the MP community.
