[mythtv-users] New recordings are now only 1 minute long

[Harry%20Devine]

I have a HDHR Prime that was working well since December. In the last week, I've noticed that every recording that I have scheduled shows up as a 1 minute recording in my Watch list, and I see the following error in my backend log:

What is that "invalid virtual channel" error mean? I just fired up my HDHR GUI and found the virtual channel in the stream and could tune it using VLC. 

Here is the backend version: 

hdevine at hdevine-desktop:~$ mythbackend --version

I just upgraded to the version above today, and I haven't tried to record anything yet. In my Mythbuntu repos, it said that the new version (which I believe is what is on above) was from a few days ago and the previous version was from 2 or 3 weeks ago (I get confused as to what the -43-g73bc45e means). 

Thanks for any help!
