[Bug 1097868] Re: After upgrade, recordings table is corrupted and new recordings are not working

 

Update:

So due to the error above and I realized that liveTV was also failing, I
thought it may be corrupted database entries for the tuner. I deleted
both of my HDHomeRun tuners in the backend setup and re-added them.

The problem has gone away. Not only that, I used to have problems seeing
4 tuners in the UI (the 2 HDHomeRun tuners are able to be used as 4
tuners in mythtv somehow), but now they show up correctly.

I think that the database never properly upgraded my tuners at some
release (I've been running MythTV for many years and always restoring
the database each time).

So it seems that something did not correctly migrate during a mythtv
release for the tuners. At least I seem to be working now. I'll post if
it happens again.

Title:
  After upgrade, recordings table is corrupted and new recordings are
  not working

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  New

Bug description:
  I just updated my mythbuntu and after the last update mythtv is unable
  to record scheduled recordings anymore.

  The symptom is that in the "Watch Recordings", there are 2 entries for
  each program that are grayed out.

  For example, I have Sesame Street set to record each day and only keep
  2 recordings maximum for my girls. Today, when this attempted to
  record the 10AM showing, I ended up with two entries in the
  mythfrondend. Both show "Sesame Street - Elmo and Zoe's Hat Contest"
  on Jan 9 10:00 AM. Both are grayed out with the X by the title.

  Logging into the mysql database, I ran this query:
  select * from recorded where subtitle like 'Elmo and Zoe%';

  Please see the attached "recordings.sql" file for the two results.

  In that table, the basename column value for the two records is
  1121_20130109100001.mpg and 1121_20130109100000.mpg

  Looking at my /var/lib/mythtv/recordings, I see what it should be:
  $ ls -lh /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1121_20130109*
  -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 1.4G Jan  9 09:05 /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1121_20130109083000.mpg
  -rw-rw-rw- 1 mythtv mythtv 8.1K Jan  9 10:00 /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1121_20130109083000.mpg.-1.100x75.png
  -rw-rw-rw- 1 mythtv mythtv  71K Jan  9 09:05 /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1121_20130109083000.mpg.png
  -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 1.4G Jan  9 09:35 /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1121_20130109090000.mpg
  -rw-rw-rw- 1 mythtv mythtv  13K Jan  9 10:00 /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1121_20130109090000.mpg.-1.100x75.png
  -rw-rw-rw- 1 mythtv mythtv 101K Jan  9 09:35 /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1121_20130109090000.mpg.png

  So, for some reason, it seems, that the record in the database is
  using 2013-01-09 @10 but the file is being save with @9.

  I'm thinking that I may have to delete my whole database and re-
  configure mythtv.

  Since I can't record programs and view them using mythfrontend
  anymore, this is a major issue for me. I've never had a problem like
  this with mythtv in the 4 or so years I have been using it. Any help
  would be greatly appreciated.
