Let's see: 1. You didn't search the list and read the threads on how to fix the problem. 2. You didn't apply the workaround in said threads from step #1 before re-running mythfilldatabase. (Hint: you either need to adjust your timezone, apply a patch from CVS and or use the latest CVS and recompile, or simply wait for the next release due out any day now). -Dave ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Next time I ran mythfilldatabase, I got it all. Hmm... I wonder what's different in my setup. I stopped mythfrontend and mythbackend, then ran mythtvsetup, kept my card configs, blew away my sources, then re-added my sources, linked them to my cards and exited mythtvsetup.

In some cases, if you've got multiple data sources defined (I have 3), you can actually grab LESS total bytes from datadirect's servers and actually refresh ALL of the data. That is because of the way that the current code first refreshes tomorrow, then today, then the last day of available schedule -- multiply that times the multiple data sources and the total data retrieved is pretty comparable. The downside of this option is that the Qt XML parser is fairly inefficient and uses quite a bit of memory and CPU time if you use this approach. I still use it from time to time. The option is currently commented out in filldata.cpp because of concerns over wasting datadirect bandwidth, but if you uncomment the lines, and continue to use CVS, the uncommenting stays put when CVS merges the changes. In most "standard" cases with a simple one-tuner setup, you wouldn't want or need to use the option. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
RE: [mythtv-users] mythfilldatabase full refresh
Thanks to everyone for posting ways I can replace bad program data :-) My 2 cents: I think an official command line option to mythfilldatabase would be a more intuitive option long term. william -Original Message- From: aaron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 04, 2005 1:15 PM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] mythfilldatabase full refresh On Apr 4, 2005 8:39 AM, aaron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hm, something else occurs to me...

RE: [mythtv-users] mythfilldatabase full refresh
I think the easiest way might be to run the mythtvsetup and when it asks if you want to keep all channels select no (keep capture card settings when it asks), then reset up your capture card to point your input sources and just re-verify all is well, exit setup and then re-run mythfilldatabase -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of aaron Sent: Monday, April 04, 2005 7:39 AM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] mythfilldatabase full refresh On Apr 4, 2005 9:22 AM, Bill Oberman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I got updated data for those days, but days 3 -> N are wrong.

If so, there is a way to refresh everything, but it's disabled by default (I think Isaac didn't want to add too much unnecessary load to the DD servers). There's an option in the code for --dd-grab-all , which will grab all the data available for your lineup, replacing whatever's in the database. But, as I said, it's not enabled by default.

Re: [mythtv-users] mythfilldatabase full refresh
The way I did was running mythtv-setup, and blowing my sources, and then rechoosing them. Next time I ran mythfilldatabase, I got it all.On Apr 4, 2005 9:22 AM, Bill Oberman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, I was bit by the QT 3.3.4 bug + daylight savings, and have it fixed up with one of the posted workarounds.
