Comment (by swbhenderson@…):

 Hi. Well it's good to know there's someone else out there running it on a
 G5. Then it's only something I've screwed up.

 Sorry about the verbose logs. I was just trying to figure out what was
 going on. It only appears to touch TVRec on shutdown (unless I record
 live).

 This is a replacement. The MacMini ran out of disk space and the FireWire
 800 wasn't cutting it for additional disk space. Everything is backed up
 (not that it matters - I can transcode anything I care about outside of
 myth). So right now it's all experimental. So for every test I drop the
 database and start fresh. I'm only adding the one HDHR3-US.

 MySQL is on the same box. MacPorts installed 5.1.70. XBMC is sharing it as
 a central database and it appears to be working fine.

 EIT is turned off and On Air Guide is turned off for all channels. I've
 got a full 15 days of data from Schedules Direct. EPG looks fine and Live
 Recording works fine. It's just scheduling a recording.

 Thanks for your help. And thanks for all your work on the port of MythTV.
 It was great to install mythtv-core.25 and without that I would never have
 been able to get fixes/0.26 running - I only tried it in the hope it might
 solve the problem since I assumed scheduling might have changed quit a bit
 with the move to UTC. No such luck. It's obviously just my dumb
 misconfiguration.

 > Re the testing you've done with 0.26…you do realize that the database
 format changed between 0.25 and 0.26?  Once upgraded, there is no easy way
 to downgrade.  Basically you must keep a backup of the 0.25 database.  To
 go back, drop the 0.26 database and restore the 0.25 backup.  Is it
 possible that you've been trying to run 0.25 against a 0.26 database?

 you get guide info from SchedulesDirect.  In mythfrontend, if you go into
 Information Center>System StatusListings Status, you should see when your
 last guide data was last updated.  It should say how many days of guide
 data you have (normally 14-15 with Schedules Direct).

 --loglevel info) unless we determine a specific need for additional info.
 Overly verbose logs are a pain to read.
