[mythtv-users] What's wrong with the grabber/mythfilldatabase?

[Rickard Borgmäster]

Hi,

I have some problem with mythfilldatabase. If I run it from the command
line just as is, there is no problem. Data is fetched and has always been
stable. However, if myth itself calls mythfilldatabase to fetch program
info, it never completes. Trying to find out why it does so, I found this
in the backend log:

[...]
2005-05-16 20:48:48.090 New DB connection, total: 1
2005-05-16 20:48:48.179 New DB connection, total: 2
Refreshing Tomorrow's data

You need to configure the http cache.

vbi: Invalid argument

[...]

Seems as mythfilldatabase doesn't get what it expects from
tv_grab_se_swedb
due to that it cannot find it's config file. But it really should. As I
said,
running from command line works just fine. And I do that as root, which
Myth back/frontend also runs as. On the same machine. I have a 
/root/.xmltv/cache dir and a cache.conf file pointing to the cache dir.

Doing a ps -ef to find out whatever command was issued to get the channel
data I found this:

/usr/bin/perl -w /usr/bin/tv_grab_se_swedb --days 1 --offset 1
--config-file /var/run/mythtv/.mythtv/Analogue TV.xmltv --output
/tmp/mythWnESon

What's up with /var/run/mythtv/.mythtv/? I have no xmltv config files
there, should I? As stated before, a plain "mythfilldatabase" from command
line is successful. Copying my Analogue TV.xmltv there (for testing
purposes) wont help either.


I don't get it. What's wrong?
