[mythtv-users] Mythfilldatabase doesn't run automatically any more - Solved

[Michael Jones]

DOH!!!

Ok.. Sorry folks.. This one was due to a brain hickup on my part.

I had set the mythfilldatabase log location to a directory instead of a file
in a directory.. 

I set it to a specific *FILE* and it now works perfectly.. Full 14 days are
maintaned. 


Thanks for the help.
