| [16:24:55] | cybrNaut: | lot's of recordings are becoming grayed out with an "X" next to them. It says "Can't find file" |
| [16:25:36] | cybrNaut: | why would mythtv lose track of files? I'm not touching the files. |
| [16:47:39] | mack-: | cybrNaut: right off the top of my head, failing disk is most likely. Database corruption/muckery could be another reason. |

| [18:46:00] | cybrNaut: | just from eye-balling, it's roughly 10% of the recordings that are getting the missing file marking |
| [18:47:08] | cybrNaut: | all recordings are stored in the same directory (/var/lib/mythtv/recordings), so an unmounted disk couldn't explain the problem. |

| [20:02:23] | mkbloke: | cybrNaut: maybe a silly question: but are they actually present within the storage dir? |
| [20:09:08] | cybrNaut: | mkbloke: when i "show recording details", there is no "recorded file:" field, so I have no way to know which file to look for. |
| [20:10:23] | cybrNaut: | whereas as "show recording details" shows "recorded file: ###_##############.ts" when a recording is in a good state. |
| [20:11:52] | cybrNaut: | I'm also seeing that all the recordings that "cannot be found" are clustered together, in the same stretch of time. |
| [20:13:07] | cybrNaut: | actually that's a big clue. I think when the reception is terrible, like on a stormy day, this might be the result |
| [20:14:02] | cybrNaut: | so i think mythtv isn't losing recordings. |
| [20:20:44] | mkbloke: | can you not find the info in the DB? the file format (on my system anyway) is just chanid_timestamp.ts where the timestamp includes any pre-roll time you may have configured... |
| [20:42:37] | mkbloke: | cybrNaut: it sounds likely to me that due to the poor reception, the recording failed to start at all, so there won't be a corresponding .ts file... |
| [20:44:08] | mkbloke: | *perhaps* that could be due to tuning taking longer in poor conditions, so adjusting the timeout for that *might* help... |
| [20:47:34] | mkbloke: | it's possible though, that even with successful tuning, if conditions are poor and the sig drops out, MythTV might then classify it as a damaged recording instead... |
| [20:51:33] | mkbloke: | also, AFAIK, if a recording is marked as damaged, then it's automatically marked for re-recording... |
| [20:54:51] | mkbloke: | effectively, those recordings with missing .ts files that never started at all will be marked as damaged... |

| [21:46:54] | cybrNaut: | I get a lot of bad recordings due to bad reception. The "damaged recording" flag seems very sensitive, and gets applied to some recordings that are decent.. perhaps only a perfect recording is considered not damaged by Mythtv |
| [21:48:23] | cybrNaut: | sometimes reception is so bad that I can't "get a lock", and popups say: unable to get a lock for 3000 m/s or something. |
| [21:49:16] | cybrNaut: | maybe there's no file when the tuner is unable to get a lock for the whole duration |
| [21:52:50] | mkbloke: | I think it's based on a calculated %, somehow. from memory (I might be wrong), < 95% on considered damaged... It's possible to get that % for each recording from the logs, but I can't remember the format to look for. I think (again from memory) it might be expressed as 0.00 to 1.0... |
| [21:53:35] | mkbloke: | it sounds like your tuning timeout is at the def val, you could try increasing that in the mythtv-setup for the cap card. say 10000ms instead... |
| [21:55:23] | mkbloke: | I don't know what MythTV does if the initial tuning for a rec fails, i.e. if it continues to retry. |

| [21:57:44] | mkbloke: | is your system sat or terrestial? in the latter case, maybe a yagi with a higher gain might help? |
