Import TV Media Types as Recordings

[sacrament055]

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what I've done to my sage server setup.

My Wiz.bin crashed and I recovered from an older version. Somewhere along the line something has been changed such that when I import TV media it does import it as recording via Phoenix option but it's adding a number at the end (showID?) that didn't used to be there.

I don't know that there's any harm in this but because it renamed many files my comskip filenames no longer match as the media names changed and I would prefer to prevent the name changes in the future. I'm not sure if the renaming is happening via SageTV directly or if it's coming from Phoenix as part of the import.

Any guidance here would be appreciated.

Is it showing up with names such as TheWalkingDead-23435223-0 for the name? (spaces are missing from the title, and it has a long number and then usually zero after it)

If so, then it's not finding any metadata associated with the recordings and is just displaying the filenames. SageTV *should* be embedding the metadata in the recordings itself, so when it reads them it'll extract it and put them back like they used to be. And if this is the problem...I'd expect the metadata is in there, but something else went wrong when it was importing them, so I could then tell you what to do next to help figure it out.

Yes it's adding a number after the "Showname_SXXEXX_Number" For whatever reason prior to my corrupt wiz.bin it didn't do that when adding as TV Show but it is doing that now. Maybe the previous behavior was wrong then?

If that's the expected behavior then it's not a problem I just thought I might have done something wrong, thanks for the reply.
