I did as you told me.
First the config.xml file is empty, but in the same directory is a mysql.txt.
I made the changes you mentioned and when mythfrontend comes up, it request to 
select the language. So it seems to be a new configuration.

But still the same. When I select "All Programs" it tells me "There are 101 
recordings in this group", when I press "m" then "change group filter" it 
tells me "All Programms [1388 items]".
So still not all recordings, they are only showed up to about end January 
2006.

Any ideas ?

Thanks
