Hi,<br><br>I saw this on the wiki "Its only function is to use an <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/XMLTV" title="XMLTV" target="_blank">XMLTV</a> or <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Zap2it" title="Zap2it" target="_blank">zap2it</a> grabber as defined in <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythtv-setup" title="Mythtv-setup" target="_blank">mythtv-setup</a>"; I took it at face value and went into the myth-frontend-setup and disabled the scheduled mythfilldatabase task (on my only backend) which was scheduled between 1 and 5 am.<br>
<br>This worked fine until I had an electrician in to do some work; the server/backend was shut down and on restart there was nothing in the upcoming recordings. I was monitoring this remotely as we were away and this remained empty from Friday evening to Sunday evening.<br>
<br>Upon running mythfilldatabase when I got back everything returned to normal.<br><br>So my question is; what else does mythfilldatabase do? Does the Myth database use in memory tables that need an initial kick? Should mythfilldatabase need to be run on boot? Is the wiki wrong?<br>
<br>I have rescheduled mythfilldatabase to run overnight.<br><br>My setup is pretty vanilla; Mythbuntu on ubuntu 904 using hauppauge nova-t-500 in the UK.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Richard<br>
