Next you can try a partial restore of only the seektable. The easiest<br>
way is if you have phpmyadmin running and you feel save in using it.<br>
If so I can tell you how.<br>

Well patience is not my strongest suit, I did the full restore and<br>
everything looks good, except for the hand full of recordings from last<br>
night. Am I correct that my only option now is to "find orphans"? and<br>
then move the episodes to "videos"?<br>

I've scrubbed the old stuff because it was getting impossible to follow.<br>
This was largely written before I read your post above. And yes, I think the orphans/video route is the supported one.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure how the loss of the seektables affects you. Does it mean that all your cutlists have evaporated too, so that you get all the ads? I can see that that would be unpopular.<br>
<br>
For me, losing the table wouldn't be serious because I physically remove the cuts asap to give a clean recording; after that the seektable is only needed if I want to be able to skip around freely during playback.<br>
<br>
I think, though it might now be too late, that I would do a db-backup, then db-optimize, and then try a few single-recording "mythcommflag --rebuild"s and see if they stick.<br>
<br>
Good luck<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

I comflag on the go. Not too bad an event though out of six recordings list from the db_restore two return on a different channel later tonight, two others I'll download, and the other two aren't that important.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm still not sure why I get the freeze-ups, momentary hangs, which brought this on in the first place, maybe it's time to do a fresh install and see if "snappy, happy" mode returns. </div><div><br></div><div>Even with all the challenges/learning experiences I can't see myself using anything other than MythTV, </div><div>THIS SOFTWARE ROCKS!</div></div><br></div></div>
