Problem Recording

I have another problem. When I try to record something from the program
guide mythbackend starts spitting out this weird error. I have only
really tried to record once, but I have had trouble with doing other
recordings, which I didn't really look into what their errors meant. In
this case I tried to record from the program guide. I selected a 2:30
show, even though mythtv showed the time as 2:31 (I do not know why
mythtv would care if the show has already started or not, but in case it
did, I thought I should say that). Here is the error that mythbackend
gave me:

DB Error (position map insert):
Query was:
INSERT recordedmarkup (chanid, starttime, mark, type, offset) values (
'1004', '20030821143000', 290, 7, "85919430");
Driver error was [2/-1]:
QMYSQL3: Unable to execute query
Database error was:
Can't open file: 'recordedmarkup.MYD'. (errno: 145)

It gave me a lot of those and it keeps spitting them out while it
records. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Colin

Your MySQL configuration/install is broken. I suspect that your MySQL
daemon is running as a user that can't read the files.

Actually, I checked again and I do get this error repeatedly but with
small variations. Also, I tried recording a second time and mythbackend
gave me the same error.

Re: Problem Recording [In reply to]

Also, another problem with recording that I noticed is that it does not
actually record the show. It records just a lot of frames that are 3/4
full of solid green and the other quater at the top is as if the channel
is scrambled. This could be releated to my other problem that I posted
this morning as Scrambled TV Input. Any adice is appreciated.

Re: Problem Recording [In reply to]

I know have some more information about my problem. I did chmod 777 on
the file it wanted, then tried to record again and it gave me the same
sort of error. I even restarted mythbackend just to make sure that it
was not working. I do not know what my problem is but any help or advice
would be greatly appreciated. Below is the first part of the error from
starting mythbackend to having it start to spit out the error. Notice
how the first two parts of the error is different from the rest of the
error. It gave me the first part of the error as soon as mythbackend
booted up. I had told it to record a program that had already started
and that I had recorded just a few minutes before, which is probably why
it says there were duplicate files. It was probably about a 30 second
delay from the first part of the error to the second part of the error.
Also notice how the second part is different from the first and the
rest. After the second part the rest of the error varies slightly from
part to part as you can see below. Here is the error:

[root[at]conf-pc colin]# mythbackend

Colin,
You should probably try to search the mythTV archives @
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/archive/MythTV_C2. Someone had an
identical (or very close) problem a few months back. Just search for
recordedmarkup.MYD in the user archives and I think you'll find your
answer.

Cheers,
Rob

Re: Problem Recording [In reply to]

So, I did find the error on the mailing list and it did tell me what to
do, but now I am having trouble running the command. It told me to do a
database dump, which I did, and then to run mc.sql. After I did the
database dump, all of the files in mythconverg were still there and
mc.sql complained about there already being a database. Then, because of
this, I moved the bad file, recordmarkup.MYD to a different directory.
Then I ran "mysql > mc.sql" and it just sits there it does not give me
another terminal prompt but it goes done one line and the cursor just
blinks. It seems like it is doing something but I don't think it is,
because it has been going for 5 min and it has not stopped. One time I
stopped and checked to see if it had created recordmarkup.MYD and it had
not. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Colin

Re: Problem Recording [In reply to]

1) When you dumped the DB did you also drop it? You have to remove the
database with the sql command "drop database mythconverg".

2) Don't run "mysql > mc.sql". I think you just blanked out your mc.sql
file. You want to direct the contents of the file into the mysql
command, so run "myslq < mc.sql".

Re: Problem Recording [In reply to]

Sorry for this pathetic question but could you tell me the command to
run to the drop database command? when I type "drop database
mythconverg" it tells me that there is now command "drop" Sorry.

Re: Problem Recording [In reply to]

Okay, you ought to have at least a working knowledge of Linux and MySQL.
But anyways, "drop database mythconverg" is a command that you run
inside the mysql program. At a shell prompt, run the command "mysql".
You will then be at another prompt that will look like this: "mysql>".
At that point type in "drop database mythconverg;" and hit enter. Then
type in "quit" and hit enter.

Re: Problem Recording [In reply to]

Thanks for helping me with this problem but now I have another. My
problem now is that after I ran mc.sql, mythtv is now giving another
error. I ran the mythtvsetup program and had to set it up completely
again, which I guess is to be expected because I deleted everything in
the database. Now though when I set up mythtv's buffer location I
switched it from where I put it last time. I also switched the storage
location for files for mythtv if that matters. I do not know why
switching these two directories should matter but it appears as if it
does because when I try to watch tv, mythfrontend freezes and the
terminal where I ran the backend from gives an error and shows that
mythtv closed. Here is the error the backend gives:

ERROR opening file '/media/mythtv/cache/ringbuf1.nuv' in
ThreadedFileWriter.

Also, I tried using locate for this file and it turned up nothing. Any
ideas?
Thanks,
Colin

Re: Problem Recording [In reply to]

Does the /media/mythtv/cache/ directory exist? If so, does it have
permissions set such that the user account from which you are running
mythtv has write access?

Re: Problem Recording [In reply to]

So, now I did fix the ringbuf1 problem, but now another problem has
sprung up. This time I have no idea what to do because I have had this
error before and it was fixed easily but I can't fix this one the same
way. This error is the one when you do not have the sound set up
correctly and when you try to watch live TV mythfrontend freezes and you
see that it has spit out a bunch of errors relating to opening the audio
device. I followed all of the steps in the How-To regarding trouble
shooting audio. I can hear sound fine when I use xawtv and "aplay
/dev/dsp". I do not know how to go about troubleshooting this problem
because I know my sound works for everything else. Any ideas? I am not
posting the error because it is the typical sound card problem error,
but if someone feels that it would be useful, let me know and I will
post it.
Thanks,
Colin

Have you checked the user running the backend has (reand and write) access
to /dev/dsp?
It may actually help if you posted the exact error, theres many 'typical'
errors with sound and we don't know which one you have!

Re: Problem Recording [In reply to]

I think that /dev/dsp still allows mythbackend access to it because I
did not change anything in relation to sound since it last worked, but I
will still check. Here is the error the frontend gave:

Are you sure you defined an audio device in the setup? It's not complaining
about '/dev/dsp'; it's complaining about '(null string)'.

We can try, but we need more information.

Who or what is the "it" that says the recording has failed? If it's a
log file you might try increasing the verbosity.

Does the system say "will record" in the upcoming recordings
listings? Do you get a "no conflicts" message?

How are you scheduling the recording manually (from the guide? from a
"list"? from a "find program" search?)?

Lastly, I know this seems basic, but you seem to have a single
capture device, I assume you are not watching "liveTV" when the
recording comes due? Don't laugh, I've seen this happen more than once.

Your input connections configuration is broken. And, yes, you can still
record LiveTV this way...

Use the "Delete all video sources" button in mythtv-setup to delete all
video sources and then re-create video sources (using DataDirect), input
connections, and channels (using the appropriate procedure, below). You
/must/ use the "Delete all video sources" button rather than deleting
individual sources or you will leave garbage in the database that
prevents things from working.

If you're using a digital source:
You should use MythTV to scan for channels, then you should edit the
xmltvid for those channels to match the appropriate DataDirect channel's
DataDirect ID. The proper process is described at
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Frontend_Channel_Editor and the
process for finding the xmltvid is described at the XMLTV ID link in
Step 3 on that page.

If you're (a North American user) using an analog source:
Do /not/ scan for channels. Instead, use the "Fetch channels from
listings source" button to download the channels and channel
configuration information from DataDirect.

If you ever change capture cards or capture card drivers (or you change
your hostname, but don't follow the instructions in the HOWTO) and have
problems with recording, you should use the "Delete all capture cards"
button to delete all capture cards after deleting all video sources.
You /must/ use "Delete all capture cards" rather than "Delete all
capture cards on <hostname>" to ensure you've deleted everything. Then,
recreate capture cards, video sources, input connections, and finally
channels.

Why the "Delete All" approach?

What's different about the "Delete All" buttons?

Re: Problem recording [In reply to]

Regarding scheduling, It doesn't matter what way I schedule the recording. I've tried both the guide and manually set mythtv to record.

yes Mythtv says will record when I check upcoming recordings.

And yes I have only one capture device, but I am not watching TV at the same time.

And I must admit i am a total linux newbie and haven't found any log to use.
