Lost root folder in Library

[sultan]

Hello!

My root folder of the mezzmo library is gone. On its place now I only see the two items 'Library' and 'Search results'. The database seems to be there, because it is still over 5 GB big. Is there a way to restore the folder structure? Sadly my backup is 6 months old. :-(

Thanks,
Zoltan

Hi Zoltan,
it sounds like the Video, Music and Photos playlists have gone missing. You can restore these by following these steps:

1. there is a tool called 'Sqlite Database Browser', could you please download this from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/files/latest/download

2. Run Sqlite Database Browser and open open your "Mezzmo.db" file (to find this file, go to c:\users\<username\appdata\Local\Conceiva\Mezzmo or c:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Conceiva\Mezzmo (where <username> is your username)).

3. On the Execute SQL tab in this tool, paste each of the following statements and then click 'Execute Query' (you will need to do one at a time, replacing each one each time):

INSERT INTO MGOPlaylist (ID, Name, Type, Description, ParentID, Author, Icon, File) VALUES (3, 'Music', 16, 'Playlist for all your music and music playlists', 0, 8, 0, ':4:');

INSERT INTO MGOPlaylist (ID, Name, Type, Description, ParentID, Author, Icon, File) VALUES (13, 'Video', 16, 'Playlist for all your videos and video playlists', 0, 10, 0, ':12:');

INSERT INTO MGOPlaylist (ID, Name, Type, Description, ParentID, Author, Icon, File) VALUES (24, 'Photos', 16, 'Playlist for all your photos and photo playlists', 0, 9, 0, ':20:');

3. Close and save the database and run Mezzmo.

Thank You, that worked with light modification in Mezzmo. (The modification was, that 'Video' has the ID 11 in my database. I looked it up in the backup.) BUT: the DLNA clients show 'No content to display'.

I finally got it working again. I had to fill out some other fields in MGOPlaylist like PlaylistOrder. Now it works.

Glad you are back up and running again :).
