Thanks for the mythweb solution. That did the trick!
I know this is an uncommon problem, but maybe it will help someone else some day.

| Post subject: | problem deleting some recorded programs |
I had a problem with R5A26 (mythfilldatabase, mySQL, or DataDirect info) giving some bad info for recordings that were scheduled. The problem might have been the result of a power failure damaging my /myth partition. The scheduling issue was resolved when I upgraded to A30.2, but the recordings, which all survived the backup and restore, still had bad info. e.g. : A one-hour program actually recorded for two hours, starting an hour before the target program. The 1004_19011213144600_20060121170000.nuv file was saved with the start date of 5:59 on Dec. 31, 1901! This is also also what is reported in MythTV. The end time and date of the .nuv file is correct. Another file, 1068_19011213144600_20060107110000.nuv, is the correct length, and file size. I can see the program playing in the preview window, but it simply will not play in MythTV, and it will not delete from the recorded programs menu. There are a couple of others, but I have not had any problems like this since the upgrade. THE REAL ISSUE How do I delete these programs from MythTV? I can delete the .nuv files, but the program listing is still present, and as long as it is there the episode will not be re-recorded. How do I manually edit the list of recorded programs? thanks in advance... |

Maybe Manage Recordings-Previously Recorded .. and delete them from the list there? That should at least allow them to be re-recorded.. |

Have you tried deleting it using Mythweb? If you have removed the .nuv file using a command prompt (ssh to the box or from console) then you will have to recreate the exact file and then delete it using Mythweb. I have removed the .nuv files using rm command and I had to recreate the file using another unix command called 'touch'. This creates a blank file. Then you should be able to delete it using Mythweb. If you don't use Mythweb, then this is all irrelevant! |

THE REAL ISSUE... The "real issue" is that you need a UPS (APC brand is very easy to set up so that is shutsdown your system gracefully upon battery exhaustion) on your box to prevent this from happening again!
