[QUOTE="ge2301, post: 1290551, member: 145639"] How should that be possible, if the infos are only in the TVMosaic DB? ;) I think you misunderstood the comment of [USER=48495]@morpheus_xx[/USER] it was only a way to get at least the recordings. It was not ment as a recovery solution. The TVE3 and TVE 3.5 always store the recording infos in a xml file beside the recording, so a regular import always provides all infos, even other software could mostly access these infos. TVMosaic stores the data only in its own data base, so there is no other way than extracting it from there. If recordings are missing in the TVMosaic DB, the related infos are lost forever. It's a weak point of TVMosaic for sure, but nothing we could influence. A solution could be only, if the recording title is 100% unique and matching to e.g. a TVDB entry, means the online scrapper takes the data from online sources. (But this would never provide infos like when and where the file was recorded). This is possible, if you add the recording folder as movie or series folder I guess. Problem: MP2 will never know how to handle the recording: Movie or Series? But could be, that MP2 even ignores the media type, because of the *.ts file extension of recordings and automatically decide the media type "recordings". This is something I could try tomorrow, I have a few dummy recordings for this. [/QUOTE]
