[mythtv-users] Re: Weird error message - pls help

[Morten Rønseth]

Hi,

Have you run "mythfilldatabase --manual"? If that fails, how did you 
install xmltv? using a package manager? If so, try compiling & 
installing from source (it isn't very hard).

    curl
    http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/xmltv/xmltv-0.5.39.tar.bz2
    | tar jx
    cd xmltv-0.5.39
    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    sudo make install


I had the same problem, which was due to an old version of xmltv being 
installed. After upgrading I redid a complete mythtvsetup (or, 
"mythtv-0.17/setup/setup"), then did "mythfilldatabase --manual" and all 
was OK.

Your problem is that the xml file hasn't been created, probably due to 
the fact that xmltv cannot for some reason get a  tv listing for your 
country.


Cheers,



-Morten
