It's because you're running mythfrontend setuid root and mythfrontend is running MythVideo and mythvideo is running tmdb.pl, so you're running tmdb.pl in a setuid root environment. TTBOMK, there shouldn't be any distribution left that requires running mythfrontend setuid root to achieve real-time scheduling for the display thread, so you should be able to remove the setuid bit on mythfrontend. See, "Enabling real-time scheduling of the display thread," at <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.4" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.4</a> for a bit more.<br>
<br>
Note, this also /might/ happen if you run mythfrontend as root directly (though I don't know for sure). If that's the case and you can't run mythfrontend as a non-privileged user, you'll have to either add a hack to the script or to all the command lines that execute tmdb.pl so that "./" is explicitly in the INC path (using perl's -I argument) or install MythTV/MythVideoCommon.pm into a "real" directory that's already in the Perl include path.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>Okay, I just ran mythfrontend with sudo and the script worked just fine, looked up the movie and got all info and the poster. So from the link you gave, would doing this basically resolve it:<br>
<pre># chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/mythfrontend /usr/local/bin/mythtv</pre><br>It notes that being "unsecure." However I'm not sure how else to solve this.<br><br><br>Thanks<br>Bob<br>
