When I first installed mythtv I did it from a package. Despite having a dvb card that outputs mpeg2, mythtv was creating .nuv files - something XBMC (which I use to actually watch the programs) couldn't recognise. So I setup mythrename.pl with the --link option as a cron job. This created nice links with .mpg extensions. When I subsequently built myth from CVS (and then, following advice here, SVN) enabling dvb in the config meant that instead of creating .nuv files it created .mpg files. I'd totally forgotten that when I saw this, I took the --link option off of the mythrename script, so it was renaming the original files instead of creating links. Of course mythweb couldn't delete these files - they had different filenames to those in the db! Have reinstated the --link option and all is working well again. Thanks for all the suggestions - sorry for being such an idiot and wasting your time!

ok, to put all fears to rest about this being a code issue, I can confirm that it works perfectly for me as of SVN revision 7538 (current).

Check out http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html for mysql permissions. Also wouldn't matter, for the above reason. But also because it's highly unlikely that he set up a different database user/password for mythweb than for the backend/frontend.

Re: [mythtv-users] Mythweb won't delete programs
But it still pulls down .17 dated February 6 2005 My bad. I just fixed that string in the README. Remember that you need to have matching versions of mythbackend and mythweb (and mythfrontend)...

Re: [mythtv-users] Mythweb won't delete programs
Well, actually, it's a newer version. The README for MythWeb hasn't been updated in quite some time. Chris has been very busy with other stuff lately, but the idea of updating it is in the system ( http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/332 ). Actually, I claim laziness on the README (I forgot it had a version attached to it). As for the rest of the stuff, I'm experiencing a repetitive stress injury in my arm/shoulder and have been avoiding computers outside of work (which sucks, since I have a lot of projects I want to work on). The best way to find out what "version" you're using with SVN is: svn info and looking at the line: Revision: Unfortunately, that gives you the svn revision, not the mythtv version. -Chris ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
