[mythtv-users] ttvdb.py won't read config file - am i stupid?

[Doug Vaughan]

Robert,
     Here is a URL to the MythTV gitrepository for ttvdb:
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/tree/master/mythtv/bindings/python/MythTV/ttvdb

On that page is a link to ttvdb-example.conf. Just download, copy to the 
appropriate"~/.mythtv" directory and rename to "ttvdb.conf". If you need 
it for more than one user account then add a symlink so they all share 
one file and all get any series overrides you add.

Then edit and add tothe "[series_name_override]" section:

Magnum, P.I.=74380

That should do it assuming the video is named as you wrote "(Magnum, 
P.I. - S01E01 - Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii (1).avi )".

It seems that however you installed MythTV that the example 
"ttvdb_example.conf" file was not included from the git repository.

I hope that helps.

Doug
