Randomly odd question: Where is my Watched List?

[Mortanis]

I recently built a new computer to replace my old SageTV machine. I'd been daily backing up my Sage.Properties and Wiz.Bin as well as their respective backups. Since it was a totally new machine, I didn't import my Sage.Properties, but did copy over my Wiz.Bin. All my favorites imported as they should.

But my watched list is apparently gone. I'm positive I'm seeing a lot of shows showing up that I've seen, unmarked as Watched. I thought the Watched List was part of the Wiz.Bin?

Yes, that is part of wiz.bin, but make sure the properties file is pointing to the wiz.bin you think it is using. (i.e. make sure SageTV is running from the dir you think it is.) If yo click on some series you've watched for a while, what do you see when you chekc out the Airing History?

Also, there was a recent change that affects how shows w/generic ShowIDs are treated -- do the shows you are talking about have SH style IDs?

I'm not sure I follow. It imported my favorites all okay, and the "Past Airings" for some of my favorites have records that go back to before I installed Sage on my new computer.

I'm not sure about the Show Id's. It just seems unusual that so many shows I've watched are scheduled to be recorded again.

I just wanted to first make sure that the correct wiz.bin was being used, which it sounds like it is since you have all your favorites. (Unless the old machine was actually using a different wiz.bin.)

In terms of ShowIDs: view the detailed info for some scheduled recording that you think was already watched & see if its ShowID starts with "SH". If so, it is a generic ID. If not, then I'm not sure what to say next, since watched shows should remain in the database. (Unless the same show has a different ID for some reason.)

I'll scan ID's next time a show arrives I'm sure I've seen. Thanks for the help.
