[mythtv-users] mythfilldatabase failing after OS upgrade

[Daryl McDonald]

It exists:
aryl at trieli:~$ ls -al /home/mythtv/.xmltv
total 104
drwxrwxr-x 2 mythtv mythtv  4096 Jan  6 11:39 .
drwxr-x--- 5 mythtv mythtv  4096 Jan  6 08:22 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 98304 Jan  6 11:39 SchedulesDirect.DB
daryl at trieli:~

but unlike the 20.04 system it does not have the json line:
aryl at trieli:/media/daryl/b48b3666-5550-4407-859d-74f11d287875/home$ ls -al
mythtv/.xmltv
