[mythtv-users] Truncated HDHR recordings

[Harry Devine]

I searched Gossamer Threads for this, but I didn't really see anything 
on this subject, so I thought I'd check with the list.  I have been 
seeing lately that some recordings that I schedule on my HDHR get 
truncated. Let me give 2 examples:

1) I recorded 24 last Monday on Fox.  I got 31 seconds and that was it.
2) I recorded WWE Smackdown on MyNetworkTV on Friday, and all I got was 
14:23.

The odd thing is that I don't see any errors in my backend log 
whatsoever.  Here's an except from my backend log for Friday.  Note that 
my recording rule is setup to record from 7:59PM US Eastern to 10:02PM 
US Eastern:

Any ideas on what else I should be looking for to diagnose this?  Could 
it be some sort of DB corruption issue and be taken care of by a DB 
optimize?

Thanks,
Harry
