[mythtv-users] clock jumping and recording deletion problems

[Scott Blachowicz]

[I posted this to a forum at mysettopbox.tv, but got no responses...]

OK...this is kinda weird...:)

My myth box is a KnoppMyth install (R5D1, I think, with SVN built & installed on top of it - I see
"Myth version: 0.20.20070122-1 12631M" in my system status screen).

Yesterday, I was installing new tzdata files (by downloading the tzdata files from elsie and using
'zic' to compile them) to handle the upcoming DST transition changes and I did that OK, but in the
process of testing it out I'd done some 'date' command that apparently changed my system time.  So,
for about 20 hours, I was running with a system time of Mar 11 (even though it's Mar 4 now) after it
jumped around a few times yesterday afternoon.

Now, I've got several recordings that are listed with a date of 3/11 and they are 0.00GB in size.  I
also have some with a date of 4/11 in the same condition.  Anyways, so I go into the Delete
Recordings screen and start deleteing them (allowing re-record) and that works fine on a few of
them, but after that it just leaves them greyed out so that when I try selecting them for deletion a
2nd time, I get a popup that says "This recording is currently being deleted and is unavailable".
Then when I exit the delete recordings screen and go back in, it's highlighted normally and I can
try to delete it again (no effect).

Checking /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log, I see this kind of stuff:

Any suggestions on how to clean this mess up?  Or anything else I'm likely to need to clean up after
this?

Thanx,
