So what do all your mythfilldatabase settings look like? These are
from my mother's MythTV box, which runs mythfilldatabase automatically
from mythbackend at 16:00 each day:
MariaDB [mythconverg]> select * from settings where value like
'mythfill%';
+---------------------------------+---------------------------+----------+
| value | data | hostname |
+---------------------------------+---------------------------+----------+
| MythFillDatabaseArgs | --only-update-guide | NULL |
| mythfilldatabaseLastRunEnd | 2022-01-12T03:00:51Z | NULL |
| mythfilldatabaseLastRunStart | 2022-01-12T03:00:51Z | NULL |
| mythfilldatabaseLastRunStatus | Successful. | NULL |
| MythFillDatabaseLog | /var/log/mythtv | NULL |
| MythFillDatabasePath | /usr/bin/mythfilldatabase | NULL |
| MythFillEnabled | 1 | NULL |
| MythFillFixProgramIDsHasRunOnce | 1 | crw-pvr |
| MythFillFixProgramIDsHasRunOnce | 1 | crw-pvr |
| MythFillGrabberSuggestsTime | 0 | NULL |
| MythFillMaxHour | 16 | NULL |
| MythFillMinHour | 16 | NULL |
| MythFillPeriod | 1 | NULL |
| MythFillSuggestedRunTime | 2022-01-13T03:00:51Z | NULL |
+---------------------------------+---------------------------+----------+
14 rows in set (0.000 sec)
And these are from my MythTV box where mythfilldatabase is run
externally from a user cron job at 15:10 each day:
MariaDB [mythconverg]> select * from settings where value like
'mythfill%';
+---------------------------------+---------------------------+----------+
| value | data | hostname |
+---------------------------------+---------------------------+----------+
| MythFillDatabaseArgs | --only-update-guide | NULL |
| mythfilldatabaseLastRunEnd | 2022-01-12T02:11:32Z | NULL |
| mythfilldatabaseLastRunStart | 2022-01-12T02:11:30Z | NULL |
| mythfilldatabaseLastRunStatus | Successful. | NULL |
| MythFillDatabaseLog | /var/log/mythtv | NULL |
| MythFillDatabasePath | /usr/bin/mythfilldatabase | NULL |
| MythFillEnabled | 0 | NULL |
| MythFillFixProgramIDsHasRunOnce | 1 | mypvr |
| MythFillGrabberSuggestsTime | 1 | NULL |
| MythFillMaxHour | 23 | NULL |
| MythFillMinHour | | NULL |
| MythFillPeriod | 1 | NULL |
