[mythtv-users] XMLTV for Schedules Direct

[Steve Greene]

Thanks, I did figure out that the .xmltv folder needed the same permissions
to write the cache file. Since then, I've had problems with
mythfilldatabase where it complains about the incoming data lacking the
final <\tv> tag. I ran the grabber outside of the command and the final tag
was there. I've Googled that issue, but even where resolved, the threads
didn't clearly identify what commands cleared it. Aggravating, to say the
least!
