Thanks for confirming. Always nice to know that it is
not only me.

I don't have any log errors either, just the blank page.
I was a bit worried about the "hostname" variable as
using "/bin/hostname" on the WEB server obviously
will give you the wrong variable to use for in the SQL queries.
For example the following from tv/recorded.php
       $dir = $db->query_col('SELECT data
                                 FROM settings
                                WHERE value="RecordFilePrefix" AND hostname=?',
                              hostname
                             );
will need the hostname of the MythTV box.

On the other hand the hostname to direct the SQL queries to will
be the /bin/hostname.

I will look into this a bit more if no one beats me to it :-)
