<div dir="ltr">Trying to get XMLTV set up on a new install of Myth
31. I have xmltv compiled and installed, now trying to get it
linked to the input sources. The <a
href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/XMLTV"
moz-do-not-send="true">wiki</a> is pretty insistent that that
I run mythtv-setup as user mythtv for this step, but when I sudo
--login --user=mythtv and enter mythtv-setup it exits without
running setup or giving any error messages. I have already run
it as myself, if that makes a difference. The wiki is a little
confusing because it says "<span
style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:17.5px">If
you do not want to logon to that id or you cannot, you can run
the mythtv-setup from another id on the same backend." But
above that it admonishes "</span>Warning: It seems users are
missing the step that says run the setup as the user that will
run mythfilldatabase (which is frequently user mythtv.)" How
can I get setup to run under user mythtv? If I can't, will
moving/linking the .xmltv contents to /home/mythtv do the trick
(as suggested in the wiki)?</div>

<p>What I do is:</p>
<p>1. Install Ubuntu 20.04 and create my user 'jim'</p>
<p>2. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/31</p>
<p>3. sudo apt update</p>
<p>4. sudo apt install mythtv</p>
<p>5. sudo su mythtv</p>
<p>6. follow mythtv XMLTV wiki, in my case,
tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite, verbatim.</p>
<p>7. exit back to user 'jim'</p>
<p>8. mythtv-setup</p>
