Alright…I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Couldn’t find the folder to copy the .db files into using finder. so, i copied using SSH.

Ah, my fault. The files need to go in

/media/internal_6/rainbow/dvr-4d32b86/data/channels-dvr/data

And then make sure to:

sudo chown rainbow:users *.db

That seems to have done it.

Does the latest version of the engine only allow for setting adjustment on the web interface? I’m still missing the “On Now”, “Guide”, etc. menus.

Missing on ATV? Try restarting the ATV app.

If you mean those tabs are missing on Web UI, that shouldn’t be the case if DVR is enabled and lineups are set on your tuners. After the backup restore the server should have started with the old data and settings.

Its on the web UI. Only tabs I have are settings and log.

Log shows an error when I disable the enable.

Can you screencap the Settings tab?

Try removing and resetting the lineup on your hdhomerun.

You can also try deleting the *.airings and *.groups dirs from the data directory to force guide data to redownload.

Ahhh…Set the lineups…that fixed it.

Were they unset? Strange since that should have been part of the restored settings.db

Sounds like recorder.db restored just fine, and you’re able to see all your old recordings, passes, etc?

They were unset for both tuners. The moment I set one everything populated and the guide data started to download.
