<pre wrap="">Above is via mythtv-setup -- will have to do that after the soaps record -- and I don't watch but.....? (So will get back on that later this
afternoon.)? Have checked one or two sources prior and the user name is correct, password is hidden but typed in manually and appears to be the
same length.? There is an issue where a few entries from the bottom of that page the "pc:52722" blanks after the password updating.? The field
has to do with SchedulesDirect and should be an auto-fill by them.

<pre wrap="">You can get the information from the Services API too, using a browser:
yourBackend:6544/Channel/GetVideoSourceList
The password(s) will be in clear text.

Very clear!!? Always nice to check to be sure the system is sending out
what I think it is -- years ago managed to get an unseen character in a
password.? I did see something a little odd (I blanked out my username
and password):

Bill: Darn! I was hoping that pointed to the problem I'm having!
Yes, I was guessing 'no path'.<br>

Think I have the indentations correct -- copied in as one long line.?
Shouldn't make any difference for what we want to verify.
I added the "??":? that ConfigPath statement doesn't look right even to
this amateur!
...I need to check out Mike's suggestions for the "com.ubuntu.Upstart
does not exist".

<pre wrap="">Shutting down mythbackend when running mythtv-setup is not necessary
if all you want to do is read the settings. So if that is what I am
doing, I normally run mythtv-setup.real (the actual mythtv-setup
program on Ubuntu systems), and tell it not to shut down mythbackend.
If the UserId and Password above match what the Schedules Direct site
says are the correct values, then we need to delve deeper into the
Internet traffic to see what the problem is. So I would recommend
installing Wireshark and running it while you run mythfilldatabase
manually, and looking at the traffic to the Schedules Direct site. You
should then be able to see the exact traffic and the error reply. When
installing Wireshark, it will ask if you want to allow non-root users
to use it, as this is a security risk. Allowing any user to run
Wireshark allows them to see all the network traffic, which can
contain passwords and other sensitive information. Since I am the
only person who uses my PCs, I allow all users to run Wireshark, but
you may not want that if your situation is different.</pre>

Installed and trying to figure out Wireshark. Two potential issues:
it doesn't seem to be seeing any interfaces -- LIS in a previous
message when I click for interfaces at the upper right that also
doesn't find anything but ifconfig tells me its enp0s7, then all the
other parameters. ...Obviously working as I can get to the outside
world with Firefox, etc., and the Frontends are connecting. <br>
<br>
Also seem to be getting an error: on Wireshark's GUI just under the
"Capture ...using this filter" it says "Couldn't run
/usr/bin/dumpcap in child process. Permission denied." I did
configure Wireshark to allow all users.<br>
<br>
OK, sending this off - hopefully the break reset my mind to figure
out the configuration.<br>
