[mythtv-users] Re: mythfrontend stopped playing live TV

[Thomas Haller]

Hi everyone,
just found out that my old recordings cat be scanned with tcscan,
the "new" ones (that mythtv cannot playback) give the following
error :
------------------------
  [thomas at htpc recordings]$ tcscan -i 1001_20050129201500_20050129215000.nuv
Contents of file 1001_20050129201500_20050129215000.nuv  
(5495324672/0x1478c0000 bytes):



  *** Error: Expected chunk 'RIFF', found 'ÿÿÿÿ'
---------------------
the found part is different for any of the new recordings.
Like I said: mplayer/xine have no problem, mythfrontend and tcscan have a  
problem with the files.
Any clue ? Have I screwed something up in mythbackend ? (though I didn't  
do anything there ...)

Thanks for your help,
___
