does Sage log past recordings?

So what does that mean? It should mean you don't need change anything. The current url will dump media files on a failed/missing drive.

All of this is untested/unconfirmed, ymmv.

ok, I'll check my log again and see if that's what happened - thanks

Arguments: --http-user sage --http-password frey -O C:\Users\sagetv\Desktop\sagetv_recs.xml http://localhost:8080/sage/Recordings?xml=yes

Just download wget for windows (or any such command line tool; curl is popular one, but not sure if there's a windows port of it) and then use it to "hit" the url. It will catalog everything that Sage considers a tv recording (but will not catalog imported videos, DVDs, BRs, music, etc.). You could add more tasks to catalog more media if you wanted/needed.

Hi there Slugger - I don't know how much you still visit here, but if you do, could you have a look at this old message/thread and let me know one thing: in your scheduled code, localhost:8080/sage/Recordings?xml=yes is an actual location on your drive?

Thanks
