[mythtv-users] MythVideo: Missing items

[Blammo]

I have 2 different frontends, all running, as i understand it, the
latest recommendation for talking to a backend, which is storage
groups and upnp (as opposed to NFS mounting a video directory).
(Fedora, and Mythbuntu btw). I also have 3 different upnp/dlna
clients.

I've noticed that the mythfrontends will, over time, start to "lose"
files from the mythvideo folder. You can see them when you browse with
the mythfrontend process ON the backend itself, but remote
mythfrontends won't see the files.

As an example, I have a directory with 12 files in it. Frontend#1 sees
6 video files. MythWeb sees 6 video files. UPNP sees 12. MythFrontend
ON the backend sees 12.  No amount of "scan for changes" will make
frontend #1 or mythweb see the files. I believe it has something to do
with the files themselves, since, even when moving them to a new
directory, frontend #1 won't show the files. At all. (on the 'old'
frontend1, one specific file would disappear every time I did a cover
update for it.. <poof> it wouldn't show up in the list.. I could go to
mythweb, remove the cover, and it would come back.. Something VERY
odd....)

I went so far as to replace the HD in frontend1 with a new HD/newOS
and even named it something new (frontend2), so that none of the old
settings would apply. That seemed to "cure" it for a while, but now
the behavior is back.

Where in the MySQL database might -per-host- settings like that be
kept, and any suggestions on how to cure it? Frustrating, as you can
imagine.

To be clear. The files EXIST, other frontends can see them (at least
right now), (1) specifically cannot.
