"You Haven't Scheduled Any Programs"

I apologize if this message is a repeat; I sent it while unsubscribed
to the list, and it hasn't shown up on the HTML archives yet.

"You Haven't Scheduled Any Programs To Be Recorded" is what MythTV
tells me when I go to the "Upcoming Recordings" or even the "Set
Priorities" options in the "Manage Recordings" section of
mythfrontend.

When I go to the "Recording Schedules" option in MythWeb, on the other
hand, I see the dozens of schedules I've added over the years -
they must be still in the database somewhere. If I add new schedules
now, I can again see them in MythWeb but not in mythfrontend. The
mythbackend must not be able to see them properly either, because new
programs that should be recorded are not.

What (probably) triggered this problem was me rebooting with a new
webcam plugged in, which became /dev/video0 and pushed my PVR-150 to
/dev/video1, confusing MythTV badly. I've since removed the webcam,
made sure that the PVR is back to video0, reset things in mythtvsetup,
and made sure that I can watch and change channels from mythfrontend's
"Watch TV". I've also run mysqlcheck (which assures me that every
table is OK), run myisamchk (which says "recovering" and "fixing" a
lot but hasn't seemed to change anything), and run optimize_mythdb.pl
(which says "Repaired/Optimized" a lot but hasn't seemed to change
anything). No luck.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? I'd really rather not have to
uninstall and reinstall mythtv from scratch; even if I wanted to
re-enable all my recording schedules by hand, I don't know how I could
do a reinstall without losing the metadata for the shows I've
currently got recorded and saved.

Run mythfrontend from a console/terminal window and check the logs. You
might want to run with -v database enabled as I'm guessing you have a
database permissions issue perhaps?

Not necessarily going to help you now, but I would echo the other reply
but apply it to the backend (you did restart that, yes?). I'd be included
to reboot too (although I suspect that's how you got the videoX renumbered
again).

I used to get this when my PVR350 and DVB cards started up slightly
differently and swapped video0<->video1. I can't think why it'd not come
back to life now it's back to the right /dev though.

The main reason I posted was to suggest a udev config. that symlinks your
devices to a given name based upon card/PCI ID. That way, you'll always
have the correct /dev. You'll have to read up on it, but for example:

[/etc/udev/rules.d/99-local.rules]
KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", SYSFS{name}=="ivtv0 encoder MPEG", SYMLINK+="pvr/pvr-350"
KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", ID=="0000:00:09.0", SYMLINK+="pvr/dvb"

.. gives me /dev/pvr/pvr-350 & /dev/pvr/dvb, symlinked to wherever the
cards really are at boot. (I had to do the DVB card by PCI slot ID as it
wouldn't register any other way I could see)

Once you have some reassurance that the MythTV database in healthy,
and before trying more drastic measures, follow:

Nick mentions checking that the db is healthy, but nobody has mentioned how;
I experienced a similar problem recently, albeit due to a completely
different set of circumstances - and it turned out that one of my tables was
corrupt; it had 17 rows, but was reporting 0, and therefore MythTV wasn't
showing any recording schedules, and I was unable to schedule anything else.
Apologies if this is teaching you to suck eggs, as it were, but it took me
ages to try and find out how to fix my seemingly identical problem:

$sudo mysqlcheck -umythtv -p mythconverg | more

will prompt for your mythtv password, and will then spool off a list of all
the tables in the mythconverg database, along with a message saying whether
it's OK or not.

If any of them are corrupt, use the repair parameter to see if the error can
be fixed

$sudo mysqlcheck -r -umythtv -p mythconverg | more

Unfortunately I didn't keep a record of the corrupted table - I think that
it was mythconverg.recordmatch - but running this quick command fixed the
problem and all of my previous recording schedules re-appeared, and I was
able to schedule new stuff.

If this doesn't help, then as has been mentioned elsewhere it sounds like it
may be time for a delve into using UDEV to make an unchanging reference link
to your device, and perhaps to remove and re-add your connections and stuff
in mythtv-setup - not much fun in my experience...

HTH!

or, better, run optimize_mythdb.pl (no arguments required). Then, set
it up in a daily cron job as described in the comments at the top.

Just had this happen to me tonight. Repair your tables and restart the
backend and it should be cleared up, assuming the tables are damaged
beyond automatic repair. Oh, and the backend log was what told me a
table was marked as crashed.
