My MythTV box (MythTV 0.17, Gentoo Linux 2.6.11, ASUS Pundit-S with DVB Nova-T) filled up its /var/video partition (100 GB XFS) recently. At around the same time, it stopped displaying the recorded programs, both in the frontend and MythWeb. They are in the recorded table in the database as well as on disk. myth.rebuilddatabase.pl finds them and claims they are all fine, as does nuvexport. The .nuv files are all there, the entry in the db is there, but MythTV won't see them.

I have exported a few movies and manually deleted them from /var/video as well as in the recorded table to make room and currently have 13 gigs free. Restarts of the backend and whole computer makes no difference, the recorded programs are still missing from MythTV. New recordings aren't displayed either, but they get added to the recorded table and the .nuv files appear in /var/video.

Full logging has not revealed any problems and a few minor errors (open tables) in MySQL has been fixed, to no avail.

Is there any other part in the database that may have been borked, causing MythTV to not find the programs? Note that the root partition (ext3) where the db files are did NOT fill up, just the /var/video partition for the .nuv files. Anything I can do to force MythTV to re-read or re-build an index or something? Is there anything in another table that could affect this behaviour?

Since both myth.rebuilddatabase.pl and nuvexport can parse the database and video files just fine it seems there's something that the main mythbackend looks for that those tools doesn't.

There's some more info at http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3793 too. Several nice people there have tried to help me, but not with much luck yet...


These are the logs from me going into the frontend and looking at the empty Watch Recording screen:
