[mythtv-users] mytharchivehelper fails to get thumbnails

[John Drescher]

After installing the latest svn of mythtv and mytharchive I wanted to
test the new fixes for the av synch problem. On the first test the
archive terminated because of a problem creating a thumbnail for the
first show. I am not even sure why it is creating the tumbnail as I am
using the Compact theme that has no thumbnails. Anyways here is the
progress log:
