[mythtv-users] Preview Images in mythweb now working

[Adam Felson]

I used to use the bleeding edge SVN myth and lost my mythweb preview images 
about 5 months ago about the time pnp was implemented.  Then I had the 
problem w/ mythbackend processes going to 100% and staying there and had to 
hack mythweb so it wouldn't even try to display the preview images.

I'm now using the 0.21 stable release svn w/ only 0.21 bugfixes, but preview 
images still weren't working for me.

Last night I saw 5-6 prevew images start poping up on mythweb.  I went 
to /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mythweb/data/cache and blew out all the zero 
length files (like I've done dozens of times before), and all my preview 
images are now back!  BTW: the command is
find /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mythweb/data/cache -size 0 -delete

Nothing in the recent myth fixes can account for it.  I haven't built and 
installed myth for at least two weeks.  

I suspect it was a bad package on my gentoo system that has now been fixed.  
The following are the packages were built in the last few weeks:  (maybe it 
was libpng or  imagemagick )
