The Knoppmyth front end is seeing them but the MacOS version is not. Is there a protocol mismatch problem?

I should add that I can view live TV and can see the recorded programs through the "Mangage Recordings" -> "Previously Recorded". I just can see them in "Manage Recordings" -> "Delete Recordings" and "Media Library" -> "Watch Recordings".

Thanks all...
Tim

Of course running an older version of the mac frontend gets me a conflict with the protocols.

Looks like Knoppmyth is not populating the database. The problem is alson on the server frontend.

See the fix here:

You need to add that row to the MBE MySQL settings table. Instructions are in the post, as well as a link to a version of MythFrontend that works fine.
