<br>
I have a mythbuntu 9.04 64bit working installation.<br>
For several reasons I had to reinstall from scratch, still 9.04 64bit.<br>
Before doing that, I did run the backup script <a href="http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/programs/scripts/database/mythconverg_backup.pl?format=txt" target="_blank">mythconverg_backup.pl</a> as suggested <a href="http://www.mythbuntu.org/upgrading" target="_blank">here</a>, on the mythbuntu upgrading page.<br>
After 9.04 reinstallation, I stopped the backend, drop the database,
created a new one and finally restored the database with the twin script
<a href="http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/programs/scripts/database/mythconverg_restore.pl?format=txt" target="_blank">mythconverg_restore.pl</a>.<br>
<br>
All recordings are there, as well as channels ids and so on.<br>
But the recordings point to the wrong filenames!<br>
It seems somewhere in the process of backup/restore, the database was
converted from "numbered filenames" to "pretty filenames".<br>
For instance, a "dr house" manual recording previously pointing to
"1000_20100613211000.mpg" now points to a file named "dr house (Manual
Record) - 2010-06-13, 9-10 PM - Sun Jun 13 21-10-00 2010.mpg".<br>
<br>
Is there any way I can rebuild the correct links between the database
and the real files?<br>
<br>
I've tried renaming a file to the name the database expects, and it
works, but doing that for 100+ recordings drives me crazy!!!<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help.</div>
