Re: Case sensitivity/insensitivity in MySQL queries?
To expand on what bill6502 said, if you want a particular column to be searched in a case-insensitive way, change it to a case-insensitive collation. These end in "_ci", like "latin1_general_ci" and "utf8_general_ci".

Re: Atom CPU Enough Power?
I ran my backend on an Atom-based motherboard for a while. It worked well for most things, however it was only SATA 2. Recording too many streams at once would cause timeouts. Even doing a "check" of my RAID array would be dramatically slow--not because of the CPU, but because of the relatively slow...

Re: Job queue is backed up
This happens to me every month or two, as well. Simply restarting the backend is enough to get it running again.

Re: Database Optimize/Backup Order
It's perfectly safe to do it in either order. About the only reason I can think of to optimize before backing up is to potentially make the backup a little smaller.

Re: HDHomeRun with mythtv .30
It's also worth noting that, if you compile your own copy of MythTV from source, you will need the "-devel" HDHomerun package, as well. Having just the library isn't enough for the configure script to enable this feature when compiling.

Re: SQL errors in Mythweb
Hi Tony,
I don't normally use Ubuntu, but I looked in a list of files in the package you are likely using, and I think you'd want to add the line to: in the section. Remove the edits you made previously.

Re: SQL errors in Mythweb
Hello, This is due to a recent(ish) change in the MySQL defaults, which cause it to be more strict than it used to be. Short of fixing the SQL code in Mythweb, the easier thing to do is to add this line to /etc/my.cnf: sql-mode="STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_...

Re: 0.29 on Centos 6
I have to ask: why not upgrade to CentOS 7? I use 7 on my backend and five of my frontends, and the upgrade from 6 wasn't too bad.

Re: myhthfilldatabase stopped grabbing listings
I had a similar problem which seems to have been caused by an oddity in the way mfdb does DNS resolution. Does it work if you run mfdb, let it fail, and then immediately run it again? If so, you're hitting the same problem I had. I ended up substituting this wrapper script for a direct call to mfdb:...
Re: Builds
What is the current state of build scripts for version 29 on OS X? I found warpme's pre-compiled frontend, but I also need the backend. It doesn't look like macports includes 29 yet. I'm willing to compile it myself, but not to go through what I'm sure is dependency hell to get it to work. Has anybo...

Re: Watch TV not working
The best idea for diagnosing this sort of thing is the logs, primarily on the frontend, but potentially on the backend as well. The easiest way to start is to run the frontend from an xterm session with "-v playback" added to the commandline and see if anything useful appears there. If not, you may ...

Re: Last update solved a lot of issues
Hard drives are definitely susceptible to data errors caused by vibration. So having your HTPC case right next to a speaker, especially a subwoofer, is probably not a good idea if you use spinning disks. Due to the heat and noise generated by their backend, many people put it in a closet or basement...

Re: Multiple IPTV Encoders
Hi Charles, I have been working on a modified version of mythfilerecorder that takes the output of an arbitrary shell command and pipes that back into the backend, rather than reading a static file. It also accepts a command to tune the required channel. It sounds like this might help for you, too. ...
