Yep. If you're saying that the *.mpg.png files in the MythWeb<br>data/cache directory are recreated, you've probably got mixed versions<br>of code (i.e. bad SVN update, bad install, ...)</blockquote><div><br>Thanks for the reply. No, only in the backend's recording directory.

directory are being recreated, it means that the date of the PNG files<br>is < the "last modified date" for the recording (in the database). That<br>generally happens because of bad permissions in the recordings
<br>directory--and the fact that it happens every time just reinforces the<br>theory; it's unable to update the preview timestamps to the current<br>time. I have *.mpg.png files in the recordings directory going back to
<br>Nov 18, 2006--my oldest recording.</blockquote><div><br>The recordings directory has rwxrwxrwx. <br><br>I started looking at what actually happens, and now I am not sure if it is really recreating all the files or if it is just updating their timestamps to current time. I tried deleting all the
mpg.png files and it takes exactly as long, as when the files already exist, to create new files when I load the Mythweb recordings page. I would imagine that if it is only updating the timestamps it wouldn't take as long as creating new files. Or maybe my backend is simply slow (dual athlon XP-M Barton at 800 MHz, 1GB RAM, recordings directory on 3 IDE drives with xfs on LVM about 600GB).
<br><br>Anyway, Unixes have no creation time stamp, so I have a hard time figuring out if the files are actually recreated, or only updated.<br><br>A file in the recordings directory:<br><br>ls -lu 2010_20070219152500.mpg.png
