[mythtv-users] strange scheduling decisions

It most be a Thursday myth could never get the hang of Thursdays. 
 
No really do you have a different listing source for each of the backends? If so try rerunning mythfilldatabase and see if it clears it up.

Hi.  I run a very stable mythtv system consisting of a combo master
backend + frontend, plus a slave backend.  Each backend system has a
pvr250, and each has its own disk for storing the TV shows.  The
pvr250 in the master backend is the preferred one (since it is
connected to digital cable).  So, normally, the master is chosen the
record shows unless there is a conflict, in which case the slave
usually ends up recording the lower-priority program.

I run cvs and normally update pretty regularly (about once per week),
though right now I am running a system that hasn't been updated since
just after 0.18 was announced.

Well, today I was looking at the scheduled recordings.  I noticed that
today (Wednesday) there are about half a dozen shows scheduled to
record, all on the master except for one, which due to a time conflict
is scheduled for the slave.

But tomorrow, Thursday, *all* the scheduled recordings (about 10 of
them) are set up for the *slave*, leaving the master completely idle.
Not only that, but one program will not be recorded because of a time
conflict, even though the master backend will be idle.  Note that the
disks are less than half full on both systems, and in particular the
master backend currently has over 160GB of space left in the video
partition.

Starting on Friday and extending as far as the schedule allows, the
scheduled recordings are shown to be reverting back to the master, as
usual.

So, my question: What is going on with Thursday's schedule?  Why are
they all set up for the slave backend?  And why won't the system
schedule anything for the master on Thursday, but is happy to do so
today, Friday, Saturday, ...?

Peter
