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 --linkdir 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 --linkdir 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!

Re: [mythtv-users] Mythweb won't delete programs
svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythplugins Perfect. But it still pulls down .17 dated February 6 2005 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 ). The best way to find out what version you're using with SVN is: svn info and looking at the line: Revision: So, anyway, you should have the right version, now, and can proceed to the install. Make sure, however, that you install the same version of mythtv, mythplugins, and myththemes--otherwise, you'll have problems. So, do an svn checkout of mythtv, then and svn update of mythplugins, then and svn checkout of myththemes, then compile/install mythtv (shutting down mythtv before installing), then compile/install mythplugins and myththemes (doesn't matter whether you install mythplugins or myththemes first). Then, restart mythtv and let us know if you still have difficulties. Hi Mike, Thanks for your help so far :) have just finished doing exactly these steps. I'm now running mythtv .19 and mythweb .19, but the problem remains. Mythweb says its deleted the program, but the files are still there and so are the entries in the db. Any ideas where to look now?

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. It could just be a bug in how MythWeb sends the command to the backend (ie. maybe the format has changed again). Will look into it if I have time tonight. -Chris ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
