[mythtv-users] mythfilldatabase problem

[Michael James Hauan]

Greetings!

I'm running SuSE 10.1 with MythTV 0.20-14.  Everything is installed and
working except mythfilldatabase, which always fails and reports a
variant of the following when run:

-------

This happens when trying to get the lineups and the program listings.

The database on the backend works.  The capture card works.  I can watch
TV, import DVDs, and do all the other cool MythTV functions.  Only the
program guide-dependent functions are missing because I cannot fill the
database.

The network connection and my account at zap2it are working because I am
able to grab an xml dump from datadirect using tv_grab_na_dd.  I can
then use mythfilldatabase --file and that works, but only if I edit the
source url in the xml file to something other than labs.zap2it.com
(mythfilldatabase throws an error if it sees that and will not update
the database).  The error message, however, reads "Don't use
tv_grab_na_dd, use the internal datadirect grabber."

So why am I getting that "Failed writing HTTP request: Bad file
descriptor." error?  It's not a mythfilldatabase error string.  I
suspect it's either an error in some parsing function, in wget, or in
some file permissions, but I haven't been able to track it down.

I will greatly appreciate any guidance on this!!
