> I have a .mythtv/cache file with proper permissions. All apropriate python
modules are installed. ttvdb.py, tmdb3.py and mythmetadatalookup all work
fine commandline using the same user as runs them as mythbackend. The only
place that fails to run them is withing mythtbackend mythmetadatalookup
jobs. I now run mythmetadatalookup in a cron job and that works fine, but
is not ideal.
