[mythtv-users] "You Haven't Scheduled Any Programs"

[Roy Stogner]

I apologize if this message is a repeat; I sent it while unsubscribed
to the list, and it hasn't shown up on the HTML archives yet.


"You Haven't Scheduled Any Programs To Be Recorded" is what MythTV
tells me when I go to the "Upcoming Recordings" or even the "Set
Priorities" options in the "Manage Recordings" section of
mythfrontend.

When I go to the "Recording Schedules" option in MythWeb, on the other
hand, I see the dozens of schedules I've added over the years -
they must be still in the database somewhere.  If I add new schedules
now, I can again see them in MythWeb but not in mythfrontend.  The
mythbackend must not be able to see them properly either, because new
programs that should be recorded are not.

What (probably) triggered this problem was me rebooting with a new
webcam plugged in, which became /dev/video0 and pushed my PVR-150 to
/dev/video1, confusing MythTV badly.  I've since removed the webcam,
made sure that the PVR is back to video0, reset things in mythtvsetup,
and made sure that I can watch and change channels from mythfrontend's
"Watch TV".  I've also run mysqlcheck (which assures me that every
table is OK), run myisamchk (which says "recovering" and "fixing" a
lot but hasn't seemed to change anything), and run optimize_mythdb.pl
(which says "Repaired/Optimized" a lot but hasn't seemed to change
anything).  No luck.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?  I'd really rather not have to
uninstall and reinstall mythtv from scratch; even if I wanted to
re-enable all my recording schedules by hand, I don't know how I could
do a reinstall without losing the metadata for the shows I've
currently got recorded and saved.
