Have you tried "mythfilldatabase --help"?
It will say:
--file <sourceid> <xmlfile>
Bypass the grabbers and read data directly from a file
<sourceid> = number of the video source to use with this file
<xmlfile> = file to read
So, you need to run: mythfilldatabase --file 1 jtv.xml
I have no idea what that "-1" is tyring to do in your command.
Kind regards,
