[mythtv] Re: segfault with mythepg and problem with mythfilldatabase

[Daniel Paessler]

hmmm..i tried that...but it doesn't work...
i get the following:

---snip---
[paessler@iphigenie pts/5] mythfilldatabase
----------------- Start of XMLTV output -----------------
couldn't get all of 7 days, only 3
------------------ End of XMLTV output ------------------
Speicherzugriffsfehler
---snip---

the last word is german and means "segmentation fault", coming
from mythepg i think.

some more suggestions?

thx daniel
