[mythtv] Rescheduling only after restart of mythbackend

Mon Jun 9 06:56:18 UTC 2014

Hi all!

First: I ask this question in the last year in the user-mailing-list. But no one couldt help.

My mythtv-server is running (and growning) for the last 7 or 8 years.
Nowadays I have two DVB-T-Card (USB), one DVB-S-Card (PCI) and two
DVB-S2-Card (one USB, one PCI) on the run.
It runs for some three years in this config.

For now nearly a year, my myth-server has a strange behavior, i do not know in the years
before.

When I add a new recording, I can see at the record-table (or in mythweb
in the (sorry only german) 'aufnahmemodi'), but it will never appear in
upcoming (in german: 'Aufnahmeplan') until a restart of the backend.
After a restart of the backend, it will appaear.
After a restart, I can work for some minutes (5-10 Min), after this time it run as above. 
Same with "sleeping" records in upcoming: No way to activate them without restart of the backend. (A 'reload' will not do this job.)

What did I try:
1) analyse an repair tables
2) Build up a complete new database (only 'record' is my old table!)
No change!
And as the "last help...
3) a daily restart of the backend as cronjob, to actualize one time a day (not good, but it works).

Here some data

Do you need more/other data?

I think, its a problem with the amaount of the database.
German TV-channels send the EIT up to 1,5 month. Because of this, my database does grow a lot over the time. To big?

Do one have any hint for me?
Is there a way to limit the eit-data to (for example) three days?

Thanks a lot for your help!
