3 months ago Sorry to hear this feedback, it seems that the upgrade process did something wrong. But don't worry, as long as the video file is still there, all data will not be lost! You can try the following steps to troubleshoot:
- The database depends on the username configuration. You can first check whether the .db file name prefix under
userdata/dbis consistent(likeharu_bd_YYYY-MM_wind.db) and consistent with"user_name"inuserdata/config_user.json. If not, please change"user_name"to the same name as before (i.e. the file prefix in the past db), then delete the db file with the wrong user prefix name, and it will automatically re-index after opening windrecorder; at the same time, just in case, you can move the temporary database with the "_TEMP_READ" suffix to the recycle bin; - For video files, if they have been indexed to other databases by mistake, you can remove the
"-OCRED"tag in the video file, so that windrecorder will automatically re-index it (you can use PowerRename in Microsoft's Powertoy to batch rename files and remove the "-OCRED" in them - If the above operations do not work, you can move the db folder to the recycle bin, then remove the "-OCRED" tag from all video file names, delete config_user.json, and then re-run the install_update.bat configuration tool to reset the application. This is the last resort. Re-indexing all videos may take a super long time. If you have recorded for a long time and have a lot of video files (such as up to several months), I may not recommend doing this.

Hello, I have been using this app for a few days (It's great app to review what happened for each day) but after updating to the latest version, my database gets reset and I can no longer see OCR from videos before today (10/6/2024). Manually indexing database doesn't seem to fix it. The old videos are still there in the videos folder. Thank you.
