"Missing recordings" with log data
Ok I'll give this another shot.

Last night just before I headed off to bed I randomly tagged a bunch of
shows to record during the night so I could see if the "missing recording"
behviour repeated itself again.

Ch Network Show Start End Status
39 Showcase Real Sex 02:05 03:09 Recorded OK
39 Showcase Queer As 03:09 04:14 Doesn't appear in recorded list
40 Life Eros 05:00 06:00 Recorded OK
39 Showcase 22 Minutes 07:14 07:44 Recorded OK

Below is what mythbackend output to the console. In particular it seems to
be facing some I/O issues. The system is an AMD Duron 1100Mhz machine with
a PVR 250 card, 384 MB of RAM, and DMA on the 80 Gig HD.

Let the diagnosis begin ;)

Mind updating to current CVS and repeating the test? (Still with -v, etc). I
think I've fixed it.

I diagnose that you randomly record better shows than I do on
purpose.

D'Oh I just shut down and packed up the machine to move it to the living
room. :) No problem, I'll wire it back up and do that. Thanks for chasing
it Issac - again - excellent project you've created.

I'll let you know tomorrow with the output.

*Laughs out loud* Well thats an excellent diagnosis. I was shocked and
amazed to discover what was on TV at 2AM. That Real Sex show with the Miss
Nude World competition was sporting full front nudity and tons of top
strippers... Go figure... And all in the name of debugging. I like to do
my part ;)
