Post subject:  Cutpoints not "sticking"

Hello all,

I have a R5C7 MythTV system and recently it has started deleting my program cutlists.

What is happening is that if I go to edit recording and select "z" to load commercial cutpoints, they show up just fine. HOWEVER as soon as I exit the editing window (by pressing either "e" or ESC), the cutlist is deleted. This annoying problem has persisted through a seek table rebuild, a database rebuild, and several reboots... :x

Does anyone have any ideas? The cutlists were working just fine on R5B7 and on R5C7 for a little while anyway.

Have you compiled and installed an svn version of myth and then reverted back to the -fixes branch by upgrading? I had the same problem. The cutlist and bookmark fields in the recorded table have been changed to TINYINT, presumably referencing a new table somewhere. I changed them back to "text", and it started working again. Makes me wonder whether I should do a fresh reinstall, because who knows what other problems you can get by switching to svn and then back to the -fixes branch.

If anyone else has this problem, I think the command is:
Code:
mysql mythconverg -e "ALTER TABLE recorded CHANGE bookmark bookmark TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '';"
mysql mythconverg -e "ALTER TABLE recorded CHANGE cutlist cutlist TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '';"
