Add me to the list.   I was gone for a week or so, and when I came back
I had many fewer recordings than I expected.   When I looked at the
channel listings in MythWeb, only my antenna tuner had listings, and my
hd-pvr (my primary tuner) had nothing.

MythWeb backend status said that mythfilldatabase had completed
successfully, which I feel is a bit of a lie.

My mythfilldatabase.log file is present but empty.  How do I fix this?

Running mythfilldatabase manually seemed to populate the guide fine
(from schedulesdirect).  Based on a little bit of googling, I unchecked
the option to use the schedulesdirect-recommended pull time in the
mythbackend setup, and I also moved the time window forward an hour.   I
have no idea if either of those things are going to help.

Worst-case scenario maybe I add mythfilldatabase to a cron job.  But
that seems redundant.   Does anybody know what might be going on?
