[mythtv-users] Remotely monitor Backend is running

[Barry Martin]

Hi Stephen!

> http://www.jsw.gen.nz/mythtv/test-mythbackend.py


Downloaded version 1.3, changed the initial line to run Python 2. Did 
not add any lines this time! Results:


barry at NZXT:~$ *python2 '/home/barry/MythTV Backend 
Scripts/Test-v1_3-work.py' *

Please install the MythTV services_api version compatible with your 
MythTV backend.

In Ubuntu, to get the current version of the MythTV services_api, do 
"sudo apt install libmyth-python".

If you still get this message after installing libmyth-python, do "sudo 
apt install python-future python-requests".

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/home/barry/MythTV Backend Scripts/Test-v1_3-work.py", line 35, in 
<module>

from MythTV.services_api import send as api

ImportError: No module named MythTV.services_api



So *sudo apt install libmyth-python* – installs a bunch of stuff .

from builtins import int

ImportError: No module named builtins



OK, so we got the same error message again, but this time with others. 
Will run "sudo apt install python-future python-requests". Seems like I 
had to run that installation for another programme on another computer 
around here, so not unusual. … Installs a bunch more.

Hmmm! Still seeing the error message.


As for the ‘services_api’ I’ll try changing localhost to the Backend’s IP

HOST = 'localhost' ==> HOST = ‘192.168.4.3’

(Not doing anything to change line numbers.)

Changed back to localhost, though seems like it should be looking to the 
Backend.
