[mythtv-users] backend not recording, but live tv works

[Josh White]

For some reason, my backend stopped making new recordings.  According to the
upcoming recordings page, I have no upcoming recordings (though I have about
55 shows set to record at any time, on any channel).  The olympics are not
recording, though I've set them to record.  This is a new problem for me,
and I'd appreciate any help finding my way to a solution.  I don't know what
logs, what output, what whatever I should be checking in this case.  The
database seems to work to some degree, as all the recordings I made prior to
8:30pm on 2/13/10 are available with all their metadata.  I restarted the
machine, I ran mythfilldatabase, I restarted the backend, and nothing seems
to make a difference. I ran the frontend from a command line and tried to
schedule a new recording: here's the output:
