Thanks; that wasn't obvious to me. > Since Myth Video doesn't "record", I'm not sure what > you're referring to about missing recordings. I didn't say "missing recordings;" I said "missing videos." Anyway, I don't see the relevance; something had to record them, so what does it matter what I call them? > You should *not* point your Myth Video at your TV recording folder. > That is not what it is designed for. I'm not doing that. In the SVN at least, when you fire up "Watch Videos" you get complaints about all the videos that are known to the backend database but can't be found in the local filesystem. Only a common mountpoint can cure that problem AFAICT. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
