Missing Recorded TV Progs after Drive Failed to Wake (1 Viewer)

[TBird1]

Running MP 1.2.2 on W7 64 Bit with MySQL

Turned system on today to find that the HD used for TV Recordings had failed to wake from sleep for some reason. Under TV Recordings only an active recording is listed.

I have . . .

Rebooted so that the hard disk is now awake, but Recorded TV still only show the one program recorded today.
Have checked the Recorded TV folder and all previous recordings are present, playable etc.
Have checked 'Folders' in TV Server/Recordings, which is correct.
Have restarted TV Server several times
Have changed views within Recorded TV but no effect.

Is there a way to refresh MP so that it will re-read the recordings listings or something ?

Thanks

Morning TBird1

Have you checked out the database import, in TVServer config, this should add missing recordings, see Recording - MediaPortal Wiki

HTH

Thanks Paranoid Delusion, don't know how I missed that, something to do with only having 5 minutes from discovering the problem to having to rush out to work I guess.

Will get on that as soon as I get home.

Thanks

Now I am concerned . . . when I go to the Database Import tab the box where you would expect to see a list of programs to be imported is totally blank.

Any suggestions on what I should do from here ?

Thanks

Have also tried copying my recorded tv directory to a different location but MP is still not picking it up. Very frustrating.

Hi TBird1

Each recording must have an XML file of the exact same name for you to be able to import them, otherwise they will not be listed.

Thanks mm, does the file need to contain anything or do I just create an empty 'programname'.xml file?

Here's the content of the xml file from one of my recordings (filename: "NCIS - S09E17 - Need to Know.ts") for reference:
