This is with the 0.8 release? Might want to try with current CVS and see if
that fixes it.

Yes it was 0.8

The chanid bit fixed it but i guess so would the cvs version.

Thanks guys.

I never solved this, but the great new format view and delete recordings
screens that were put in CVS just after 0.8 was released seemed to have
fixed the problems for me.

I keep getting this error from myth in the terminal window when I try to
view or delete a recording - the screens simply say file missing. It appears
that when generating the filename, a null string is generated instead and
thus it's looking for a file called .nuv or .png in the case of the
thumbnail.

The file is definitely there and appears to have the correct format (i.e.
chanid_starttime_stoptime.nuv) matching with what I told it to record.

I saw a similar message posted by Peter Marriot (I bcc'ed you - hope you
don't mind) also from Australia. Peter: did you solve what was going wrong
here? I'm guessing you did since you are still here and seem to be using
MythTV.

It's possibly something to do with Australia then. If so about the only
difference could the tv guide. I'm pretty sure my tv guide is working
correctly though. Looking at the DB directly (and through the EPG) it all
looks fine.

I have tried reinstalling RH with defaults (i.e. not changing locale etc)
since I thought picking AU might be doing something stupid but no go.

This definitely worked with RH7.3 but something broke it in 8 and 9.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Christian
