[mythtv-users] recordings not showing up

Running Fedora Core 4 and configured everything using the Wilsonet guide, so
I'm using the /video partition to store recordings on. I made sure to
specify /video as the place to store recordings in mythtvsetup.

When I watch tv it records stuff fine; I can rewind, pause, whatever. When I
go into the View Recordings menu item I see the short little clips its saved
from when I was watching TV and I can view them just fine.

I scheduled three recordings in the middle of the night. When I go to look
at recordings only the snippets from when I watched live tv were there, I
looked at the Previous menu item in Recordings and it shows the three things
I scheduled as having been recorded. When I look in the /video directory I
can see the files. I went into the mythfrontend settings and changed the
Videos director to /video to see if they would show up there, I also told it
to ignore unknown filetypes and show everything. Now when I go to Videos it
shows all the recordings including the three I scheduled but they're not
named properly (2006<string of numbers, etc.>.mpg) and they play just fine
from there.

So in conclusion, why are these recorded shows not showing up with the
snippets from live tv and why are they named improperly (they also don't
have thumbnails like the live tv snippets).

Thanks.
