OK, maybe I missed discussion about this, but about 3 weeks ago
(apparently), mythfilldatabase started failing, and new recordings
stopped being recorded. I'm just now cathing up with this. Here is the
mythfilldatabase.log file I found:
> 2008-05-05 04:45:35.667 Using runtime prefix = /usr, libdir = /usr/lib
> 2008-05-05 04:45:35.668 Cannot locate your home directory. Please set the environment variable HOME or MYTHCONFDIR
> 2008-05-05 04:45:35.668 Failed to init MythContext, exiting.
> 2008-05-05 04:45:35.668 DataDirect: Deleting temporary files
Since mythfilldatabase is being run from /etc/cron.daily/mythtv.cron,
and has been for a year or so now, what changed recently?
mythtv is installed from ATRPMs and is running on Fedora 8. Is this a
packaging error from ATRPMs? If so, why haven't other complained?
BTW, if I su to root (sudo su -), I can run mythfilldatabase by hand
without running into this problem.
