| [21:54:50] | afc_: | hi all |
| [21:56:33] | afc_: | We have used MythTV for over 3 years. Today the boot hard drive failed. All we have are hard drives with the video recording files – is it possible to rebuild the Myth database just from recordings? |
| [21:57:49] | afc_: | Any help would be appreciated |
| [21:58:21] | peterbennett: | afc_: No database backup? |
| [21:58:55] | afc_: | Perhaps a very old one on a USB stick – I will have to look |
| [21:58:59] | peterbennett: | afc_: If you used ubuntu ppa it automatically runs a database backup weekly I believe. |
| [21:59:26] | afc_: | But it will be 9 plus months old. The database backup directory was on the book drive (big mistake) |
| [21:59:52] | peterbennett: | No a 9 month old database backup is not bery useful. |
| [22:00:07] | afc_: | Yes, we were using the mythbuntu fixes ppa |

| [22:01:11] | peterbennett: | If you recently ran mythlink onto a still working drive that would be useful |
| [22:01:50] | afc_: | Someone suggested this https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Myth.rebuilddatabase.pl |
| [22:02:43] | afc_: | What's Mythlink? |
| [22:03:28] | peterbennett: | mythlink creates a directory of links to your recording files with easy to read names. |
| [22:04:18] | afc_: | So I could run this on recording directories? Sounds as though it would require the database, though... |
| [22:04:33] | peterbennett: | That rebuilddatabase even if it still worked would be prompting you to enter progarm details for your files, and you would have no way of knowing the details |
| [22:05:08] | afc_: | I was thinking this, too – there must be 4,000 plus recordings! |
| [22:05:55] | peterbennett: | Best you can do is watch the files at random and be surprised. :) |
| [22:06:15] | tgm4883: | well, there's some other stuff you can do |
| [22:06:21] | tgm4883: | but it's not going to be easy |
| [22:06:34] | tgm4883: | so it really depends on how important it is |
| [22:06:45] | peterbennett: | You can look at the file names, the first part contains the channel number, after the underscore contains the GMT date and time of recording. |
| [22:06:52] | tgm4883: | ^ |
| [22:07:17] | tgm4883: | So you could figure out which channel each recording is for, then figure out the time it recorded |
| [22:07:24] | peterbennett: | If you know that Chicago file is at 8pm on wendesdays on channel 5 you could track them down |
| [22:07:27] | tgm4883: | From there, you could probably figure out what show it was |
| [22:07:53] | tgm4883: | And as long as they are new recordings, they probably are in order at that point |
| [22:07:59] | tgm4883: | And as long as they are new recordings, they probably are in episode order at that point* |
| [22:08:58] | tgm4883: | A long time ago there was a tool called mythnettv that added arbitrary video files into the recordings table, IDK what the current status of that is as it was third party |
| [22:10:37] | peterbennett: | I have a script to do that also, but you need to know the program title and other details. |
| [22:10:39] | afc_: | God, thanks everyone. The family videos, snaps and music are on a separate drive. A 4TB and 2TB hold the Myth recordings and they are fine too, but the boot drive died overnight. |
