Comment (by mdean):

 Replying to [comment:2 pinball.rules@…]:
 > This first significant error seems to be caused by parsing an empty
 config.xml file.  I looked and the mythtv user's .mythtv/config.xml file
 is a link that points to /etc/mythtv/config.xml, which is empty.  Note
 that I login and use a different user to control mythtv.  My normal user
 has a .mythtv/config.xml file that is not a link, but rather an actual
 file and contains a stanza with configuration (but that is not a link).  I
 also noticed that the /etc/mythtv/config.xml file gets updated after
 running mythtv-setup and some other times too (I have noticed it's
 timestamp is always sometime in the previous 24 hours).  My guess here is
 that at some point this file got truncated by some action within mythtv.
 I have repaired the /etc/mythtv/config.xml file by copying back the
 version from my normal user and the error no longer appears in my
 mythtranscode log.  The file has not been truncated over the last day
 (though its timestamp did change over night and again when I ran mythtv-
 setup again this morning).

 This issue was fixed in 3fb9d6eb77 in master, only (and the changes are
 too invasive to backport).  See #10305 and #10249.
