[mythtv-users] Shows are not getting recorded, but myth doesn't know

Hi,

I have had lots of troubles getting mythtv 0.19 installed. Now
everything is installed and seems to be running OK. I can see live TV
through mythtv, and I can set it to record a show. I can even see some
"recorded programs" listed. However, it doesn't seem to REALLY be
recording anything. I have done a search and there are no .nuv or .mpg
files anywhere on my system.

I just went to mythweb and clicked on "Recorded Programs". It DOES
show two programs have been recorded, however there is nothing on my
hard drive. After I clicked on "recorded programs" mythbackend gave
these errors:

2006-03-28 18:13:34.637 Could not open
/home/mythtv/TV//1011_20060328000500.mpg.png.  12 retries remaining.

2006-03-28 18:13:41.173 Preview Error: Previewer file
'/home/mythtv/TV/1006_20060325233000.mpg' is not valid.

Is that double slash a problem? (.../TV//1011...) I don't know why
that is there.

When I mouse over a program it shows a link like this:

http://192.168.1.36/mythweb/data/recordings/1011_20060328000500.mpg

Why is this? I set it up to put recorded programs in /home/mythtv/TV/.
Why does it think it is under the web Document Root?

Any idea on why shows are not getting recorded or how I can
troubleshoot this problem.

Thanks in advance,

Craig
