recorded shows not listed after move

[cameramonkey]

I recently installed a new HTPC. I installed a fresh copy of 6.6, and copied the recorded shows from the old system to the new in the same path.

even with the old recorded shows (from a 6.4 install) moved into the recording directory, nothing shows up.

I assume there is some file from the old program install I need to copy, but I dont want to copy the entire config. is there an easy way to get those recorded shows to appear in the recorded shows menu?

wiz.bin = database that stores all the metadata, recording history, guide, favorites, etc (nothing is stored with the files...)
[sage, sageclient, or macaddress].properties = configuration

both are stored in your root sage directory... or for extenders/placeshifters hte .propertikes file is in your ../clients directory

also check out the FAQ that has some very important information regarding moving files, changing computers, etc
