[mythtv-users] Intermittent "File Not Found" Messages

[Drew Tomlinson]

I recently upgraded hardware for my combo BE/FE machine running Myth 
0.21_p18116 and MySQL 5.0.60-r1 on Gentoo.  I built the system disk from 
scratch using the Gentoo sources for the 2.2.26 64 bit kernel.  The 
processor is an AMD X2 3800.

To populate the mythconverg database, I did a mysqldump from the old and 
restored it to the new.  Then using mythtv-setup, I deleted and 
recreated input cards, frontends, storage groups, etc. to reflect the 
new enviornment.

On the old hardware, the recordings were in a storage group named 
"Default" and consisted of 3 drives (/tv, /tv1, /tv2 - original, huh?).  
These drives were moved to the new box and mounted at the same points.  
On the new box I had a free partition on the system disk which I mounted 
as /tv0 and added to the storage group.

Everything works fine most of the time.  However in the "Watch 
Recordings" screen, many of my previous recordings have lost their 
thumbnail images.  This is not a big deal but I thought Myth created 
those as necessary?  The bigger problem is that I can begin to play a 
recording and it plays fine.  But sometimes if I exit the recording and 
then attempt to play it again, I get a "file not found" error message.  
At some later point, the file will be found.  Another stop/start of the 
recording may or may not produce the "file not found" message.  
Sometimes stopping/restarting the FE will help; sometimes not.  This is 
all intermittent but I have only noticed the behavior with recordings 
that don't have thumbnails; meaning they were recorded with the old 
hardware.

Any ideas on why I might be seeing this behavior?  I am at a loss as to 
where to even begin checking.

Thanks,

Drew
