| Post subject: | Missing recorded tv files - how to update database? |
For some reason, I have a bunch of recorded tv programs in the database but the video files cannot be found. How can I remove the missing programs from the database? Is there a way to totally clear the table of recorded programs and then run myth.rebulddatabase.pl to populate the table from scratch? |

You really don't want to do that. At the very least it's a lot of tedious error prone work and it's not necessary. To fix this manually: - Find the names of the files listed in the DB that no longer exist on disk. - Touch the files into existence. - Delete as normal. Someone also recently posted a set of DB utility scripts, including one that fixes this problem. You want the 3rd one down: http://knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=17454 |

The 3rd one did the trick. The problem is that Comcrap encrypted a bunch of channels so my HDHR couldn't record them. |
