[mythtv-users] Re:Not recording anything using CVS (7/30)

[Trey Stout]

Ok I have since this post gotten CVS from 8/4 working fine. Program guide,
and live tv work great. I still for the life of me cannot get the thing to
record. I can mark shows in the guide, and it just never records them. If I
go to instant record I see a live preview in the window above, and it fills
in the show data perfectly. Whenever I hit start nothing happens. Is it
supposed to go to another screen from there?

When I back out of the instant record screen (after hitting start) I go to
watch recordings and it says sorry, no recordings available.

I logged the output of this using 'mythbackend -v -l /var/log/myth-be.log'.
I then started mythfrontend and went to instant recording. I started a 60
minute recording. Below is the log...

It appears that the proper DB entry is being made, but nothing is reading
the DB, or nothing is starting a recording process. Please help! This is the
final step before I have a complete working mythtv setup.

Here is the data from mysql.
