[mythtv-users] Mythweb losing its thumbnails

[Bob Sully]

Hey all -

I have noticed over the past week or so that new programs I've recorded do
not have thumbnails under "Recorded Programs" in MythWeb.  I noticed today
that all of the 25-odd recordings (escept one) I still have out on disk
have also lost their thumbnails.  In Mythfrontend/Media Library/Watch
Recordings, the animated thumbnails are all there.

Looking at MythWeb's data/cache directory, I noticed today that almost all
of the .png files are now zero-length, and have recent (past day or two)
date and time-stamps, even for recordings that have been out there for
months:

Anyone know what's going on?  Python or Perl issue?

I'm running Myth 0.21, latest available Mandriva packages for 2008.0, x86_64.

Thanks!
Bob
