[mythtv-users] Built In Mythfilldatabase Automation

[Jon Kunze]

I'm having somewhat the same problem, but also somewhat different.
Recently, I started getting the same "did not change anything"
message. Along with this, my mythfilldatabase has never been
automated. I'm running .15.1 and I always have to run the command
manually. I have the time frame selected for it to run in the myth
configuration, but still nothing. Any idea on this?

Also, I have noticed that mythfilldatabase will not update the
programing for the current day. Is there any way to force it to update
the current days programing?
