[mythtv-users] Problem with xmltv

[gkanis at cems.umn.edu]

Mythfilldatabase does not have any etnry in crontab. There is one in 
cron.daily. It should be run after/before slocate and the makewhatis. Both of 
them are running around 12AM, mythfilldatabase never runs.

I created an entry in crontab for the user and I test it ... it works. 
Mythfilldatabase was executed.

Thank you Tony,
Vasilis
