[mythtv-users] mythtv misses recordings

[Chris Germano]

MythTv has started to miss recording for some reason. I'm using CVS as of about a week ago and this just started happening yesterday. The recordings are set for "Record this program in this timeslot every week." The program will appear in the Scheduled Recording on MythWeb and will just stay there even when the time passes. If I go back to the program and click Record Duplicates - Update Recording Settings it will kick in but I don't have any duplicates of these shows and nothing appears as a conflict. I do all my scheduling from MythWeb and that could be the problem as I installed a new apache and I've been getting a lot of permission errors lately but it still is shows up on the frontend when I goto "fix schedule conflicts." Very weird and annoying, I'll try updating to current CVS tonight...

Feature Request - Can someone add a link to view the current recording taking place on the page that shows when selecting Watch TV when there is something being recorder. This makes tons of sense and I don't see why it's not there already..although if you have multiple tuners and both are recording then it should default to the first recording or something.

Weird Occurance - I have mythfilldatabase on as a cron job every night and I've been noticing that sometimes my listings in random locations will be empty (large sections of a few hrs usually after midnight). I have a feeling that it misses them when picking them up occasionaly then marks that day as been filled and then skips over it each time it wants to fill the db as it says: "Data is already present for Fri Oct 10 2003, skipping" for all my days err. How can this be fixed? I've tried running mythfilldatabase in --update mode, etc but nothing helps.

Frontend just crashed:

As you can see no mention appears in the backend at 1700 for Survivor!
