There is a perl script in the contrib folder of the distribution that

filenames aren't much help...



OK - tried the perl script with the --try_default switch and it reports
that its found all the programs & the files that go with them eg.

Found a match between file and database
    File: '/mnt/store/1000_20050718204200_20050718213500.nuv'
    Title: 'Jamie's School Dinners'


If I use --show_existing I get stuff listed eg.

Channel:    1000
Start time: 07/18/2005 - 20:42:00
End time:   07/18/2005 - 21:35:00
Title:      Jamie's School Dinners
Subtitle:

but when I go to "Watch Recording" I get nothing listed other than "Sorry,
no recordings available". Is there another switch to make the stuff found
actually stick?

Is it because the channels have been changed? If thats the case then it
sounds like a design fault to have such a ridiculous dependancy - after
all I don't care how it was recorded, I just want to watch it!!

You may need to repair your mysql database. When something like this happens, I usually go into the mythconverg directory (/var/lib/mysql/mythconverg for me) and run "myisamchk -r *.MYI".
