[mythtv-users] Still no recorded programs displayed in 'Watch Recording' dialog

[Robin Gilks]

Greetings

After changing tuners I've lost my existing recordings - well sort of.
They are in the database according to webmin and myth.rebuilddatabase.pl
(see below) can see them as well. In the 'Watch Recording' screen, all I
get is "Sorry, no recording available". mysql is running OK (settings,
epg, mp3 lists etc all accessed OK).

I've tried starting with a new database (typing in all those channels
again!!) and importing the files but they all report zero length and when
I try to then delete them after 5 seconds they re-appear in the delete
recording list again!! Weird or what...

$ ./myth.rebuilddatabase.pl --show_existing

Your myth database (mythconverg) is reporting the following programs as
being recorded:

Channel:    1005
Start time: 06/04/2005 - 19:32:00
End time:   06/04/2005 - 20:03:00
Title:      Paul Mccartney In Red Square
Subtitle:
[blah blah]

These are the files stored in (/mnt/store) and will be checked against
your database to see if the exist.  If they do not, you will be prompted
for a title and subtitle of the entry, and a record will be created.

Found a match between file and database
    File: '/mnt/store/1005_20050604200400_20050604201800.nuv'
    Title: 'Paul Mccartney In Red Square'
[blah blah]


So I tried a new recording. Another gig of disk space later and still
nothing to watch.

If I can't get the old stuff back, can someone suggest what stuff I delete
from the mythconverg database so I can free up 30G of disk space.

After 3 months of building this box, everything else is working, from LCD
to FM radio (i.e. the difficult bits) but recordings have me beat :-(
