My setup is not too complicated I have the following:
cardinputid cardid sourceid Inputname displayname
8 5 1 S-Video 1 DirecTv
6 3 6 MPEG2TS HDTV-0
7 4 6 MPEG2TS HDTV-1
10 6 7 S-Video 1 GLOBO
The channel that I am having trouble with is the only one attached to
the GLOBO input card. It is channel 596. The chanid in the channel
table is 7596.
chanid channum freqid sourceid callsign name
7596 596 596 7 RGTI Rede Globo TV Internacional
When I view through mythweb or through the "Recorded Shows" I see
blank information for channel information, title and genre etc.. When
I look into the tvchain and inuseprograms tables while watching livetv
or recording this channel I see a chanid of 4294967295. Which is way
off. I don't have this chanid in my channels table so I am assuming
this is why I see no information in the recording screens. Do you
know how the inuseprograms and tvchains are populated? Could it be
because I don't have genre or rating informations for the programming
on this channel? Other than this phenomina I can't put my finger on
what is different about this channel setup from all of the others I
have..

(I added the *blank* to let you know that in the channame collumn it is blank)
I have removed this channel and input card from mythsetup and
reinserted them but this has not repaired the problem so I am
wondering if mythfilldatabase isn't inserting a key piece of program
information needed for a join to work?
