Favorites Gone

[pvr599]

Hi all,
Geez, it's been so long since I've been here since everything has been working so good for so long. I noticed in the last couple days none of my favorites have been recording. Finally had time tonight to look into and and realized all my favorites are gone.
I went into look at the wiz.bin and I these

Anyone have any ideas as to what to look at to see why this happened and maybe how I can get my favorites back?

Thanks

A lot of times in the past we've seen favorites get "lost" for a couple reasons. Holes in the EPG and also a big one is a corrupt recording.
If I recall, one of them will cause specific favorites to disappear and the other will cause all of them to disappear.

If you can pinpoint when the favorites stopped recording I'd look at recordings done at the same time as the last favorites recorded, or just after them (if it wasn't a favorite). Shut down SageTV and the Service (if you're using service mode) and move those recordings into a folder not set up in SageTV as either a recording or import directory.
Re-fire SageTV, wait a few minutes, and see if the favorites are back. If they are then one or more of those recordings you moves may be corrupt. Then you can try moving them back one or a couple at a time until you find the culprit.
