[mythtv-users] MythTV refusing to record...

This is new behavior that started recently. There were two recordings showing up in Mythweb upcoming recordings

After the first one should have recorded, I went looking for it. It was not there, and the second scheduled recording was also 
gone. As a Test I went to tomorrows listing and added a show to record. It does not appear in the upcoming recordings.

One of the two shows got recorded last night at 3:00 AM

There are two episodes of this show in the listings, each one shows up 5 times at different times and on different channels, but 
none of them show up on upcoming recordings.

I have verified that my tuners are working and live TV is working.

This stuff used to work. I have not messed with mythTV in months. There have been some updates to the system, but I did not see 
any for MythTV go by.


I am seeing some database errors in the backend log:

Jul  2 23:03:10 BlackBox mythbackend: mythbackend[2892]: E Scheduler mythdbcon.cpp:843 (prepare) Error preparing query: DELETE 
recordmatch FROM recordmatch, channel WHERE recordmatch.chanid = channel.chanid AND recordmatch.recordid = :RECORDID

Lots more, but I don't want to flood this e-mail with useless data. Will provide if requested.


My guess is that the database got corrupted. Is there a tool to fix this? What is the procedure to run it?


Version of all the parts of MythTV appears to be: 2:31.0+fixes.20200323.9579662cdc-0ubuntu1
