[mythtv-users] Problems on an upgraded computer.

Tue Nov 19 04:29:41 UTC 2019

I just replaced my computer with a new one and am attempting to move my mythTV setup to this new computer.

I have gotten mythTV up and running on this new computer, but live TV is not working (I have been able to play a recording).

The new computer has a new name from the old one.

I restored the database from the old computer to the new one which mostly worked but all my tuners disappeared (I have two
HDHR-US tuners and three HDHR4-2US tuners).

I re-created them and things seemed to be OK.

If I try and play live TV in the front end (both front end and back end are on the same machine) the screen flashes once and
nothing happens.

The one clue I have is that if I show the MythTV Status in Mythweb, it shows a bunch of extra Encoders "Is remote on
OldComputerName (currently not connected)" followed by the 10 Encoders (each HDHR contains two tuners) "Is local on
NewComputerName and is not recording".

I know I should get rid of the encoders on the OldComputerName since that no longer exists, but I have not been able to figure
out how to do this. I can't find any mention of them in the mythTV Backend Setup app.

Mythweb is showing multiple hosts, there should only be one, but I don't know how to delete the non-existent ones.

I don't thing the following info will be useful, but I'm including it for completeness:
