Installation Help after Hard drive Replacement

Channels DVR Server
#1

I had a hard drive failure and had to "upgrade" my mac mini with a fast 1TB SSD. I did my time machine full restore and most things are running properly. However, channels dvr is not starting up correctly. I am getting.

.2020/02/15 05:50:50 [SYS] Starting Channels DVR v2019.12.05.0128 (darwin-x86_64 pid:1948) in /Users/gregoryulsh/Library/Application Support/ChannelsDVR/data

I had some renaming of internal/external hard drive names that might have this zap file no longer the same location or is gone.

Any ideas on next steps?

I did inspect the store folder referenced and the only file in it is root.bolt. If I go into time machine , I see several .zap files but if I restore them and startup the dvr process the .zap files disappear.

Please delete the USA* folders entirely and then restart the software.

If that doesn't work, I recommend you use the installer on our website to delete and reinstall the software. Then open http://127.0.0.1:8089/restore and find the most recent backup on your recordings drive.

Deleting the USA* folder/files did the trick. Thanks

"Me too" (had some HDD corruption with similar messages). Moving those USA* folders aside and restarting seems to have fixed things.
