Hi,<div>My mythtv box has been running ok for a while. The backend occasionally dies but I use monit now to ensure it starts.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Last night I noticed that the thumbnail previews of several recent recordings were not there. Actually it was my 8 year old Son who alerted me to the fact he could not watch 'Ben 10' !</div>
<div>Choosing to play the recording gave me an error to the effect "recording file is missing". </div><div>This was both from mythweb and the front end (combined be/fe)</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder">
</div><div>I looked through the backend log and some things which looked different to normal:-</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><div>2008-04-22 09:29:30.297 TVRec(26): ASK_RECORDING 26 29 0 0</div>

<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I decided to restart the mythtv PC and since then it has been fine. (touches head). I scheduled 4 concurrent recordings on my 2 x DVB tuner cards and it worked as expected.</div>
<div><br> </div><div>I'd not noticed this before but when I did look back through all he recordings as displayed in mythweb, I did notice some from a month or so ago with no thumbnails, maybe 4 or 5.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder">
