Upcoming recording rules vanish over a week

[armyofthepenguin@…]

I have a set of weekly programs that I have set up mythtv box to record including lost,big bang theory,bones, caprica, etc.

If I check the "Upcoming Recordings" page then I will see that not all of the programs that I have set my mythtv box record are there. And in fact, in a period of week *ALL* upcoming recording rules will vanish from the "upcoming recordings" page.

If I check the "Set Priorities" page however, *ALL* of my rules for weekly recordings are listed. To force the mythtv to record my programs on the days and times they are supposed to be recorded on, I have to manually change and save the priorities on the "Set Priorities" page. This is a pain in the ass. And it's only good for 7 days at which I'm back to the problem from the first paragraph.

This bug sounds similar to an earlier bug posted, except in that case, the issue was the rules missing in their entirety while in my case the rules are still there under "set priorities" and "Recording Rules" but vanishing under "Upcoming Recordings".

Are you doing *all* manual records? Do you not have listings data?

On a second reading of the logs and some consultation, you appear to be doing all manual recordings, and the result appears to be user error. Please post your issue to the mythtv-users mailing list and we can help you understand what you are doing wrong (or better still, sign up with Schedules Direct, a bargain at any price, and use proper recording rules rather than manual recordings)
