[mythtv-users] Errors from myhproto when using mythvidexport.py

[Jay Harbeston]

Greetings!

I just upgraded from v30 to v31, and have run in to a problem as described in the subject. I haven’t had any other problems yet surface from my upgrade (knock on wood!).


I have tweaked the mythvidexport.py script to use python3, and I am getting an error from mythproto when trying to open the movie file to copy to the videos directory.

I haven’t been able to track through all the steps as to where the file is being opened as I think that is where the problem is according to my search abilities.

Any ideas where I need to check? Or? 

Thanks!
