Figured out what was wrong. After digging around in the database and looking through all the recording tables and various other tables (great job, btw, on a nice, simple database design; digging through it was really easy!), after digging through the back end logs and what was getting recorded in the front end logs, after scratching my head for days, I was playing around with themes, starting and stopping the front end and saw '"/xxx/yyy.mpg" could not be found'. *sigh* '/xxx' is not where my files are...
<br><br>When I re-ran the setup, I put the wrong directory in for the recordings. Therefore, it couldn't find recordings. *duh*<br><br>So, it works now and console output is getting redirected into the front-end logs, too. :)

I got my mythtv system up and running at the end of January and it has been flawless until Monday, February 26th. Sometime that evening, recording went south. I couldn't even watch live TV. I was able to get things back up and running quickly...apparently something about the video inputs went wrong and simply re-running the setup and creating new inputs (my old ones were gone) fixed things.
<br><br>Unfortunately, now I can't access anything previous to February 26th at 8pm. Every file I try to access gives me an error "The file for this recording cannot be found." One thing I noticed in particular was this change...

<br><br>I am guessing that my lack of ability to find the existing recordings has something to do with that tuner change. Is there anything I can do in the database to fix this? Hopefully relevant logs below.<br><br>Thanks.
