[mythtv-users] The file for this recording cannot be found.. :(

Sat Mar 3 16:23:46 UTC 2007

Figured out what was wrong.  After digging around in the database and
looking through all the recording tables and various other tables (great
job, btw, on a nice, simple database design; digging through it was really
easy!), after digging through the back end logs and what was getting
recorded in the front end logs, after scratching my head for days, I was
playing around with themes, starting and stopping the front end and saw
'"/xxx/yyy.mpg" could not be found'.  *sigh*  '/xxx' is not where my files
are...

When I re-ran the setup, I put the wrong directory in for the recordings.
Therefore, it couldn't find recordings.  *duh*

So, it works now and console output is getting redirected into the front-end
logs, too. :)
