When you run MythWeb is it running directly on the back end, or on
another machine?
If on the backend, then it would imply to me that it's a networking
problem, between the frontend/backend.

A very strange thing just happened to my MythTV setup.  All of a sudden,
when attempting to view the listing of recorded shows, mythfrontend
reports
"Sorry, there are no recordings."  It worked fine a few days ago when I
watched a new recording.  Then I went away for the weekend and when I
came
back, this happened.

My setup:
Myth .18.1 from apt-get repositories
Fedora Core 3
Installed using Jarod's guide

Here is what I've tried:

- I can use MythWeb to list them, and even delete them.
- Nuvexport sees them and allows me to convert them.
- The files exist in the /var/mythtv folder.
- An experience Linux friend of mine used Ethereal to sniff the traffic
between the frontend and the backend, but it looks like they are
talking.
- There are no error messages in the console window even when running if
very verbose mode.
- Backend log reports nothing.
- I've restarted both frontend and backend and then rebooted and still
no
luck.
- Deleted all shows from the "recorded" table except one show that I've
had in there for about 1 year and it still says the same thing.

Has this happened to anyone else?  Any suggestions for troubleshooting
this one?  I am desperate here!

Thanks,
Tommy

Here is a little more info based on the responses thus far:

- Not running NFS.  I think it is called ext3/extended3.
- Frontend, backend, and mythweb are all on the same box.
- I've tried running frontend as root and same problem.
- I can watch Live TV.
- I can view upcoming recordings and past recordings from the frontend

Any other thoughts? Should I look at the source code to see the query that is used to retrieve the show names in case it joins other tables to the 'recorded' table. Remember I deleted all records from that table but one good one. This was in case a show name/info had some special characters. It worked on a Thursday. Recorded some shows over the weekend. Then I tried to watch them on Monday. Then BAM, this happened!

Thanks again for any help/suggestions,
Tommy
