[mythtv-users] MythTV 0.26 find_orphans.py not working

[Robert Havlin]

I have previously used this script successfully, and it worked well (even
on 0.26).   This time, after a drive failure, I have a lot of missing
recordings that I wanted to clean up.
I run the script and get the following message:

*./find_orphans.py *
*Traceback (most recent call last):*
*  File "./find_orphans.py", line 230, in <module>*
*    main()*
*  File "./find_orphans.py", line 166, in main*
*    recs, zerorecs, orphvids, orphimgs, dbbackup, unfiltered =
populate(host)*
*  File "./find_orphans.py", line 84, in populate*
*    recs = list(DB.searchRecorded(**kwargs))*
*  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/MythTV/utility/other.py", line
180, in __call__*
*    yield self.handler.fromRaw(row, db=self.inst)*
*  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/MythTV/database.py", line 131, in
fromRaw*
*    dbdata._evalwheredat()*
*  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/MythTV/database.py", line 307, in
_evalwheredat*
*    DBData._evalwheredat(self, wheredat)*
*  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/MythTV/database.py", line 145, in
_evalwheredat*
*    self._wheredat = eval(self._setwheredat)*
*  File "<string>", line 0*

*    ^*
*SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing*


Looks like there is a python issue - this is also supported by the fact
that I get an error when I run mythpython --version:

*/usr/bin/mythpython --version*
*Traceback (most recent call last):*
*  File "/usr/bin/mythpython", line 15, in <module>*
*    import MythTV.tmdb.tmdb_api*
*ImportError: No module named tmdb.tmdb_api*


If I change the following lines to include the "3" in tmdb (as is the
proper directory name for: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/MythTV/tmdb3/)
- it works as is shown at the end.


*import MythTV.tmdb3.tmdb_api*
*...*

*print_version('tmdb version', MythTV.tmdb3.tmdb_api.__version__)*


*Nevertheless, the original problem of find_orphans.py remains and the
offending **recs = list(DB.searchRecorded(**kwargs)) statement*
*Any ideas what is the problem here?  *
