A couple of days ago I noticed that a good chunk of my recorded TV showed "No Information Available" for program info.

The weird thing is, the past couple of weeks of recorded TV were left intact, AND the first couple of weeks of old programming were intact. Just a month or two worth of saved programs in the middle had lost all their data.

Media center processes crash every once in awhile, but lately my setup's been fairly stable. I may have database optimization turned on. Did the optimization process inadvertently strip this info? Can I rebuild the data somehow?

Oh, I'm running on Vista Ultimate x64 with every current MS patch and the TV pack installed.

I have the same exact problem. I basically lost meta data for a few months worth of recorded tv in the middle. Removing and re-adding them to the library did not help.

OK this just happened on my system too. :(

Anyone with a fix for this? I am not sure what to do to fix this. I have Vista with the TV Pack installed.

I have had this happen to me both with Media Center Vista TV Pack, 32-bit, ATI CableCARDS (96 recorded programs were just left with the date recorded, yet the meta data shows up at the bottom of file manager is you look at the individual recordings, so it is still there).  Second it happened with W7, 32-bit same hardware.  Same situation.  Programs lost identity in Media Center, but metadata intact in actual files.

I am running the same setup as dayofthedaleks.  I am having the same issue with most of my "Recorded TV" showing up as "no information available".  I tried resetting my Media Player library and doing a rebuild of the Media Center database from the control panel.  The problem still exists.  Does anyone know a fix?

Same error encountered here - I have 32-bit Vista with TV Pack.

The problem seemed to be triggered by a single dodgy recording that saved without metadata - it was a series recording, so its odd that enough metadata was obviously present for it to recognise and record the program, but none of the metadata was saved, even the filename was missing the series name with just the channel and date.

As well as the corrupt recording however, 229 other, previously fine, recordings all lost their display of metadata in VMC. The metadata still looks ok from Windows Explorer, but will not display in VMC, even if I remove and re-add the watched folder, or move the affected recordings to a different physical drive!

 This is very poor, and extremely frustrating - has anyone got any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?
