Hi Nick,
I am running mythfilldatabase manually, several times a day (I use
tv_grab_dvb to get the TV-listings from a dvb-t stick, but I record the
analog signals with the PVR-350 because the quality is much better than
the dvb-t signals ...).
I use the following commands:
tv_grab_dvb -s -c -f listing.xml
mythfilldatabase --file 1 listing.xml
I am not sure if the problems occur every time when there are changes in
schedule, but I know that there are situations when they happen.
Regards,
Johannes
