[mythtv-users] No "configure" command for mythfilldatabase

Jean-Yves,

Thank you for responding.

It doesn't look like anything useful came up in the command line. After 
recreating the video source and following all instructions, it says only 
this:

~$ mythtv-setup
* Stopping MythTV server: mythbackend
[ OK ]
* Restarting MythTV server: mythbackend
No /usr/bin/mythbackend found running; none killed.

I think tv_grab_jp might be fubar, because it looks to me like it can't 
find the listings source when I try to run it with the "--configure" 
command.

$ sh tv_grab_jp --configure

I do have to disagree on this point. The original command I ran 
explicitly told me to run mythfilldatabase with the "--configure" 
paramater, and there is no "--configure" parameter. That is a mismatch 
between instructions and reality.
