[mythtv-users] Mirobridge cron job doesn't terminate

[Doug Vaughan]

Jason,
    Yes kill the hung process. Unfortunately at a certain point when 
Mirobridge is communicating the Miro backend process and there is an 
abort the process hangs. MiroBridge does not have control enough to 
gracefully exit the process.
    
    As has been mentioned before you will need to remove the records in 
the "oldrecorded" data base table that do not have anything in the title 
field. A description on how to do that was in the blog post you had as a 
Web link in a previous post.
    
    Also remove all files that start with "9999" from the "Default" 
storage group directory. That is the place that recordings are stored. 
Do not worry about deleting these files that start with "9999" as they 
are just symlinks and associated screen shoots which will be recreated, 
the next time MiroBridge is run.
Example:
/media/virtual/MythTV_Storage/9999_*.*

So do the following:
1) Follow the instruction in the blog post to remove oldrecorded records 
with no data in the title field
2) Remove the recording files that start with "9999" as described above
3) See if you can remove in Miro any video without a title
4) Give MiroBridge another try.
