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

This sounds like a database issue. 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 *

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

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)

I can't make what is going wrong. I think it is related to

Preview Error: Run() file not local:

What do guys think?

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.
