I just wanted to share something with the community. I really find this mailing list quite helpful. I was having trouble with FFing through TV recordings. The FF would start fine but then jump around and get quite pixelated and then freeze. After searching through the mailing list I was told that it was a problem with the version of Myth I was running (.18). I didn't understand it because it used to work just fine. Then one day, my system just stopped recording anything at all. That REALLY confused me, but I had plenty of recordings to keep me busy so I ignored it. Then this weekend, I got a wild hair and decided to fix the problem. I ran a mythfilldatabase and it gave me an error which I searched on the mailing list for. I found it and was told to do a mysqlcheck. Specifically this:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/115501?search_string=mysqlcheck;#115501Well I ran it and then I could run mythfill again and things were schedulded to record. I watched one of these recordings and was able to fast forward without ANY difficulties! I had NO idea that the MYSQL database had anything to do with fast forwarding. So I put that mysqlcheck into a cron job for every Monday at 11am so I never have that problem again. But I just wanted to thank the people on the list. They have been quite helpful, and I hope this post will be helpful to someone at some point. Thanks again all!
Jim
