Update from A16 to A26 worked very vell

but now i'm having problems with my media:
- when i select "watch recordings" -> mythtv freezes
- when i select "scan for new music" the system doesn't find a file (no action at all) but there are many files under /myth/music
- when i go to the video setup it asks me if it should delete the entries. i say "no to all" and can watch them. but then if i go back to the setup, it asks me again about deleting the video-entries?!


and shutdown takes forever. anyone else experienced this?

yep.

First things first, try restoring a backup from KnoppMyth-> Restore KnoppMyth. If you did not make one, then you will need to verify all paths.
Also make sure your data still is in tact in /myth/video /myth/tv /myth/music etc...

check utilities/setup-> setup-> Media Settings-> Video Settings-> General Settings.
First option is Directory that holds videos, make sure it still points to /myth/video.

If that is correct, then exit mythfrontend, open a terminal and run mythtv-setup choose NO to both prompts to keep or erase card/channel info.

Go to General, confirm that the IP address and master server IPs are set to 127.0.0.1 or the actual IP you assigned during setup.
click next.

Make sure your directory to hold recordings is set to /myth/tv, and that the directory to hold live-TV buffers is /cache.
click next.

Check follow symbolic links when deleting files otherwise you will end up with used disk space and not know where it went.
click next 6 times, then finish.

Hope this helps.

thanks, mcdrama

the paths to video, music, images and recordings were all wrong

but i'm still having problems: mythtv is telling me that he couldn't connect to the backend server. i'm running frontend and backend on the same machine and therefore the IP addresses are set to 127.0.0.1

what can i do now?

Is the backend running? Has it dies for some reason? Have you checked the backedn log?

run this in an ssh session or terminal:

tail -f /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log

then run this command in another terminal:

/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart

you should see something similar to this appear in the mythbackend.log:

and then it still hangs, when i want to access "Watch recordings"

"could not connect to the master backend server - is it running? is the ip address set for it in the setup program correct?"

:(

If you haven't already, try rebooting your box. The most common reason for failing to bind the port is because another instance of the same program is still holding it.

If that doesn't work try:
Code:
netstat -an | grep 6543

If that shows a listener, do this find the process which has it open.
Code:
fuser -v -n tcp 6543

Actually that tells you that one is already running. You're trying to start it twice for some reason.
