Might be different versions in Ireland.

Maybe your wiki user location flag of Ireland confused the poster hence the UK suggestion? You mentioned in your post a fix from someone else and a wish to install mythweb. Did you get anywhere with that? I don't think I can see in your posts any answer to the request as to the operating system/myth...

Hope it's OK, I've added [Solved] to the end of the subject line on the first post.

No problem, glad I could help. Wonder how it got mysql:mythtv?

I'll mark as solved.

Might be an idea to check permissions where the recordings are being stored. Are they OK for the user that the backend/frontend run as?

Done.

On the frontend, Manage Recordings, Recording Rules, then scroll down to Default Template.

that Flirc actually stands for F*** LIRC!

Never noticed that.

Once setup Mythbuntu has been brilliant. I've been running 16.04 for a year with regular updates to MytvTV v29 via fixes/29. There could be a problem with configuring MythTV where the backend can be tricky to shutdown and this could cause problems with setup. sudo systemctl stop mythtv-backend mytht...

Paul, Looking at one of my frontend it looks like you should have a themes.zip file in ~/.mythtv/tmp/ that was modified today.

Thanks for that Paul. Although I have done a themes refresh my box only shows v1.7. There was a mention of theme update problems from Peter Bennett on irc in #mythtv and #mythtv-users on Friday about having to delete .mythtv/cache, not the theme cache but the general QT cache. I'm on mythbuntu 16.04...

Unfortunately that snippet of log is truncated. i.e.

Failed to initia

Also that log has instances of

Recorder Failed

and

which I think is a truncated version of saying it can't find the file.

As others have mentioned on the mythtv-users mailing list ppa:mythbuntu/30 has been updated as of yesterday.

I, and others, have found that Flirc is very good option for a pain free and relatively easy setup.
