Mythdvd rip issue

[dagreatk]

I don't know whether this is just mythbuntu or whether its an issue for all distros using mythtv but I was having a problem ripping dvds, the begin ripping button was non responsive.
I found out that when I ran frontend verbose this error came up.

2009-11-23 13:52:05.216 MSqlQuery::exec() "SELECT data FROM settings WHERE value = 'mythdvd.LocalRipDirectory?' AND hostname = 'Media-Center' ;"
2009-11-23 13:52:05.216 MSqlQuery::exec() "SELECT data FROM settings WHERE value = 'mythdvd.LocalRipDirectory?' AND hostname IS NULL;"
2009-11-23 13:52:05.217 MSqlQuery::exec() "SELECT data FROM settings WHERE value = 'VideoStartupDir?' AND hostname = 'Media-Center' ;"
 2009-11-23 13:52:05.217 titledialog.o: I can't rip, as I have nowhere to put finished files. MythVideo? installed?

when I query the database no rows come up.

Whenever I would change my temp directory in the Media Settings->Rip Settings it would not write the changes to the database I corrected this issue by manually putting it into the database

UPDATE settings SET data = '/var/lib/mythdvd/temp' WHERE value = 'VideoStartupDir?' and hostname LIKE 'Media-Center';
in my case the hostname is Media-Center and my directory is /var/lib/mythdvd/temp

MythDVD has been part of MythVideo for some time now. What version of Mythbuntu and MythTV are you using? Are you possibly talking about this bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/469583

No I don't think so because first of all /var/lib/mythdvd/temp is a valid directory that does exist and has correct permissions, I even changed the permissions to 777. I also tried /var/lib/mythtv/videos as well. the issue was that the database had no entry for a directory and mythtv wasn't writing it into the database when it was changed in the settings. So I do not think they are the same issue. I am running mythbuntu 9.10. Do you think it could be something else because I found another forum with people who had the same issue as well?

Check the following link. Does this resolve the issue?

Sorry, no it is not writing to the mysql database at all its actually still saving to /var/lib/mythdvd/temp even if i change the directory in Video Setting. Is it happening to anyone else or just me. unless i log into mysql and physically update that row it won't change for me. Any clue?

I confirm this on Mythbuntu 9.10 using mythtv & mythvideo version 0.22.0+fixes22594-0ubuntu1 (i.e. the ones currently in the repos).

I made it go away by:

insert into settings values ('mythdvd.LocalRipDirectory', '/var/lib/mythdvd/temp', null);
