Another thought: I don’t think the machine has run mythfilldatabase since early this morning and I wonder if running that manually would solve the problem. It’s probably scheduled to run sometime tomorrow morning. Thoughts on running it manually?

Sorry for the noob questions but databases scare the bejesus out of me. :0

After running find_orphans.py I am no longer able to see any of my recordings on the front end. If I use mythweb then I can see them all. They still exist on the hard drives and the fronted correctly reports the amount of space taken up by the recordings. New recordings show up fine.
