My /myth/pretty/ folder is empty. Running mythlink.sh manually just says "Skipping" for each .nuv file in my /myth/tv folder. Checked the system log, can't see any problems. Any ideas on what to do now? Thanks. (PS: can't say for sure this is 0.16 related as I haven't checked the pretty folder recently)

i had this problem when i R4v4.1 after i updated to .16, but i thought i must have messed up something on my system. i just did a autoupgrade to R4V5 and it went great. but mythpretty is still broken.. its definitly a .16 thing.. mythlink says skipping to all my NUV files as well.

this is the part of the script that isnt working. if you comment our the two lines under SKIP IF NUV DOESNT EXIT, the script runs fine. Everything i kind of understand but this:

start is the variable for start time, but what is

lol that last part totatly lost me for any meaning in english.. ohh how i miss logical languages like visual basic.. =0P Anyone know??

Tried commenting out those lines but now it says



and stops.

It appears that the date format has changed. I altered the SQL line from



to



Note the addition of DATE_FORMAT.

It seems to work (for me) with that change.

I thought it might be a database change. Thanks for the edit. Unfortunately I'm still seeing the same symlink permissions error I listed above with the edited script. Ugh.

Which crontab is the script in and who owns the directory? It runs as root on my system which pretty much means the permission problems shouldn't be an issue. The directory is owned by mythtv but obviously the symlinks are going to be owned by whoever creates them.

Thank you, you're right of course... I was running it manually as mythtv and it wasn't working, but the crontab runs as root and it worked properly. Whew. Thanks again.

that worked for me thanks!!!

Please forgive the very newbish question. I installed KnoppMyth over the weekend and it is working splendidly except for the "pretty folder" being empty.

After reading the previous posts, exactly which file do I edit to make the change:

Code:
mysql -uroot mythconverg -B --exec "select chanid,starttime,endtime,title,subtitle from recorded;" >/tmp/mythlink.$$


to

Code:
mysql -uroot mythconverg -B --exec "select chanid,DATE_FORMAT(starttime,'%Y%m%d%H%i%s'),DATE_FORMAT(endtime,'%Y%m%d%H%i%s'),title,subtitle from recorded;" >/tmp/mythlink.$$

Thanks to everyone for the excellent work!

mythlink.sh i cant remember where its at, and im not at my box so do a

it will tell you what dir its in

In case you didn't find it, it's located here: /usr/local/bin/mythlink.sh
