[MP 1.2.0 beta] Import old recordings in new database fails (1 Viewer)

[DizzieNL]

I had to do a full re-install of the HTPC of a friend of mine. He had MP 1.1.3 installed and had some recorded tv. When I try to add these old recordings to the freshly installed MP 1.2.0 beta nothing happens.
In the menu the old recordings are visible (greyed) - but when I select them and click "Import selected files" nothing seems to happen. The entries keep being listed as 'not in database', and when I look into MP they are also not added to the DB.

Is there a (general) problem with importing recordings from MP 1.1.3 into MP 1.2?

I have the same problem with import from 1.2 alpha to 1.2 beta.
I have had not time to check in details yet...

Greyed out recordings are ones where there is no channel found.
Off the top of my head imports only work were there is a channel to link them to.
There is however a bug in 1.2 if you attempt to link recordings to a channel (0003543: Unable to change channel when importing recordings - MediaPortal Bugtracker) that is fixed in latest SVN

Thanks for your reply. Seems logical...

Currently I have the HTPC at my own house so I can't configure his TV at this moment. Will do so when it is on sight. If any problem persists importing the old recordings I'll post back.

I seem to be having the same problem. MP 1.2.1 only imported recordings from one channel (Super RTL), but won't import my other recordings from Pro7 (see attached screenshot). There is no error message, nor are the discovered entries greyed out. When I select them and click the import button, nothing happens. Any advice toward diagnosis or workaround is welcome.

P.S.

Sorry to be so slow! After noticing the part about unassigned channel, I also noticed that my new digital channels didn't correspond 1:1 to the old analog ones. After using the "Change Channel" button as suggested above, the recording imported fine. Logs & screenshot removed.
