[mythtv-users] MythArchive totally screwed up after update to 0.21

Paul,

thanks for your detailed reply!

But how exactly *does* mythburn.py (0.21) get the full path of a TV 
recording file? Printing out the value stored in "mediafile" right 
before the doesFileExist call just yields the recording's file name, not 
its full path.

You're absolutely right, I kept some archive items while upgrading, and 
it was those I tried to burn. I'll do as you suggest and delete them.

Ah, right, that's what I guessed. The only weird thing is that (I think) 
I already had run ProjectX as mythtv user some time ago, already 
confirming its licence.

But anyway. I'll give it another try tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks again --
