Post subject: | Upgrade Issues R5f1 to R5.5 |
Hello, I have been using Knoppmyth for several years now, and i though it was time to upgrade. I chose to upgrade to 5.5 because of my hardware. I now have a few small issues that I have been trying to sort out. The main two are: Schedule recordings will not load. It is as if they are blank. I can watch live TV and then hit record. This will appear in the recordings page and i can watch them. When a scheduled recording starts i can see the back end status is recording the show, but will not load when i go to the recordings page. Second problem is that when watching TV or a recording the play back sometimes stutters. It never used to on the earlier version. In addition to this the screen seems to shimmer, i think i need to fix the display settings. Thanks in advance. Jim |

Run mysqlcheck on all the tables in your database. I would run it with the automatic repair option, thusly: Code: mysqlcheck -r -u root mythconverg * jimyhunt wrote: Second problem is that when watching TV or a recording the play back sometimes stutters.

Make sure you have xvmc installed and enabled first, as this is most likely to take the load off your CPU. Mike |

Thanks manicmike, tried to clean the data base. I used - mysqlcheck -r -u mythtv -p mythconverg (after stopping the back). Still no joy. When I go to watch the recording, it states "the file for this recording can not be found" I will focus on this problem first and and ask questions about the stuttering later. |

I have just checked to see if a video file is being created in the tv directory, and there is not. I ran /usr/local/bin/myth.find_orphans.pl To find there is a miss match in video files and the database. This still doesnot help with the problem of myth no starting the recordings. |

Did you check the ownerships and permissions on the directory? Oh, and check the backend logfile for any errors. (/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log) |

Okay i think i have found the problem. I have a redundant DVB card in the machine which is only used for the IR because i couldnt get the dual card to work. I double checked the input card settings, and i think i have one input assigned to a card that had no arieal input, and therefore wouldnt record. All sorted on that front. Thanks for your help, it wasn't all wasted, i have learnt were logs are kept and how to read them, which will help on future bugs. |
