Wiz.bin problems

[Todd3835]

Ever since moving sage to a new server, i've been having problems with my recordings getting lost (the .mpg files are there, but sage is loosing the metadata). I'm guessing it's a problem with the wiz.bin file.....

So, I'm wondering what's the best alternative. I've tried BMI, but I just can't seem to get it working (Sage Webserver works, so it's not a Jetty issue). I've also tried SageRecordingsXMLGenerator but having no luck. It doesn't appear to be making a XML file, unless it's saved somewhere else..... I can manually save each one from the webserver, but that's tedius. Taking snapshots of my wiz.bin might work I suppose, but that's something I'd have to figure out.... I think the best option is the creation of outside metadata files that I could re-import if needed. Anyone have any other thoughts?

On a side note, the new machine is running Vista, and I initially had some problems due to the usershare, but I've tried both addons in the base location (c:\program files x86\ and the usershare area.....

Ok, so after trying to put the SageRecordingsXMLGenerator plugin in the usershare section, it's still not working......

[Todd3835]

Ok, so it's not "usershare". It's the virtualstore, and that's indeed the problem *again*. I had to manually edit my sage.properties in the Virtual Store, and add the loading line manually, and the SageRecordingsXMLGenerator plugin works great =]

You could just check the FAQs in the stickies at the top of this forum section, such as this one:

I have in the past, and i tried searching for certain terms but couldn't find anything useful for the situation. I'm just happy it's fixed because loosing my settings twice in under a month kinda sucks.....The longterm fix is of course to get my wiz.bin backed up every day on some sort of backup system, but the short-term fix is done!
