I ran grep "Pocoyo" /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log last night but all I
could see there were the recent episodes that have been recorded in the
last couple of days. I guess my log wasn't bit enough to see past then.
Guess I'll never fine out what happened.
Oh yea, I didn't do the mysql check because I'm a big scary cat when it
comes to mysql. All of my initial problems with Myth were Mysql related
and I had souch a nightmare that I now daren't even look at the thing
:-) I'd rather not know than risk messing with that.
As ever, thanks for the help everyone!
