find duplicates is broken. Everything was working properly with .19
Hi Ricko,
The problem turned out to be caused by an upgrade of MySQL that changed
the character set for the databases to somehting besides latin1. This
changes the size of a whole set of the database columns so that they are
shorter than they were before and as a result episode items match up that
shouldn't and therefore don't record. I tried changing the database
format back to latin1, but it was going to take me too long to correct the
database format manually.
I ended up solving my problem by doing the same as jellono;
1. Wrote down all of my MythTV Setup and Configuration parameters
2. I backed up my mythconverg database (I actualy renamed the MySQL
directory)
3. re-created the MySQL database
4. ran through the mythtv-setup routine from scratch (this was a pain)
5. checked that items were now recording properly
6. logged into my backup mythconverg database, and used mysqldump to
extract out a listing of recorded programs. I then added these items into
my active mythconverg recorded programs table so that I could view my
existing recordings.
This has tought me to back up my mythconverg database before performing
any upgrades.
Chris
