Hi all<br>
<br>
My system suffered a power failure,which I suspect occurred while the database was being accessed/updated.<br>
Now all the entries "default" and "All Programs" sections of "Watch Recordings" are either 3 News or Funniest home Videos (multiple entries of each)<br>
All the previously recorded programs appear in "Watch List" and are accessable.My last DB backup was on Saturday so I can restore to that one.<br>
Other than that, any suggestions as to how I might correct those entries?<br></blockquote><div><br><div><div><div>Are you on *buntu (I think you are).<br><br></div>Try <br><br>sudo /etc/cron.weekly/mythtv-database<br><br>
</div>It will try to repair the db, then create a(nother) backup.<br><br><br></div><div>While you are about it move that script to /etc/cron.daily and increase the number of copies it keeps. (They take up damn all room and it can take some time to realise you have corruption).<br>
