[mythtv-users] nuvexport problem

Mythtranscode dies because these three select statements return empty sets:


SELECT data FROM settings WHERE value = \'RecordFilePrefix\' AND 
hostname = \'\';
SELECT data FROM settings WHERE value = \'BackendServerIP\' AND hostname 
= \'\' ;
SELECT data FROM settings WHERE value = \'BackendServerPort\' AND 
hostname = \'\';

I do not know if code or the database changed between 0.18 and 0.18.1 to 
make this fail, but I worked around it by updating the settings table to 
include entries that match. I have a nuvexport to DVD going now, which 
is much further along than I had gotten since updating to 0.18.1.

Example database update (abbreviated a bit to avoid extraneous data):

mysql> select * from settings where value = 'BackendServerPort';
+-------------------+------+----------+
| value             | data | hostname |
+-------------------+------+----------+
| BackendServerPort | 6543 | pvr      |
+-------------------+------+----------+
1 rows in set (0.03 sec)

mysql> insert into settings value='BackendServerPort', hostname='';

mysql> select * from settings where value = 'BackendServerPort';
+-------------------+------+----------+
| value             | data | hostname |
+-------------------+------+----------+
| BackendServerPort | 6543 |          |
| BackendServerPort | 6543 | pvr      |
+-------------------+------+----------+
2 rows in set (0.03 sec)
