[mythtv-users] 'Previously Recorded' screen shows only ancient history

[John Pilkington]

My main mythbox says it is running frontend

Revision: v29-Pre-v0.29-pre-415-g27d348f

locally built for SL7 using an rpm specfile based on that from rpmfusion.

I recently noticed that the Manage Recordings > Previously Recorded 
screen lists only recordings made between Jan 2005 and Nov 2014, with 
one exception from Mar 2015.  I remember that it used to show a detailed 
list of recent stuff too, but I don't know when I lost that.

I have before-and-after DB backups from Nov 2014 when I started using 
this hardware, and it seems quite likely that I messed up a hostname 
change then.  I've also imported a few recordings from other boxes, 
using MythArchive native mode, perhaps with mismatched Myth versions; 
they never appeared in this screen.

The system still knows about at least some of the 'missing' recordings. 
It finds them with select > Edit > Schedule info > Previously recorded.

Another independent box, Fedora 25, same revision, seems ok but isn't 
showing the list of recent unrecorded repeats etc that ISTR

Any hints on what it might be worth investigating?

TIA
