[mythtv-users] New Frontend woes

[Alex Fazzari]

Sorry copy /paste error, the error message from the front end is actually:

2009-08-23 21:46:23.814
RingBuf(/media/Goods/TV_mythtv_recording/2004_20090823214626.mpg)
Error: Waited 16 seconds for data, aborting.
2009-08-23 21:46:23.815 NVP::OpenFile(): Error, couldn't read file:
/media/Goods/TV_mythtv_recording/2004_20090823214626.mpg

i.e. the file name is 1 number higher than that reported from the backend.
