In a previous note I noted that I had MythTV working, then stopped it
and at that point it wouldnt run properly,- If I punched the 'Watch TV'
button it just blinked. Then after being out of town for a week I came
back and everything worked.
Well, ditto, on a much shorter scale this AM.
Everything was working (from above), I wanted to run AZAP to see what
it had to say about signal strengths for my three TV cards. I did the
experiment, restarted MythTV, and had the same bad behaviour when
I select 'Watch TV',- just blink. There are complaints in the mythfrontend
log about not being able to start on a channel that in fact exist, and trying
on channels that are not set in mythtv-setup...
Then, after about an hour, magically, it started working again.
There had been no mythfilldatabase, no program recorded, nothing that
I can see that would have changed the status of the database.
Strange.
As I noted once before, things like this make be really hesitant to trust
MythTV to record things for me in the long term. Whatever is happening
could happen at any time. I dont have power failures here, but what if...
There just seem to be some loose bits in the machinery...
