I have been running my EPG script manually (from user stephen) while I
tweaked it, and it was working fine. Now, when I am trying to run it
from user stephen's crontab, xmltv-proc-nz (0.5.6) is failing:
Running xmltv-proc-nz on the Freeview data
Movies: TMDB module not found.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/xmltv-proc-nz", line 551, in <module>
tree = ElementTree.XML(data)
File "<string>", line 86, in XML
SyntaxError: no element found: line 1, column 0
xmltv-proc-nz failed, rc = 1
The line in the script that runs xmltv-proc-nz is this:
/usr/local/bin/xmltv-proc-nz freeview.xml >temp.xml
Line 86 in the freeview.xml file is the start of the first <programme>
element after the <channel> elements. If I again run the script
manually immediately after the crontab fails, it works correctly.
I have no experience with Python or user crontabs, so I am hoping
someone out there will be able to give me a clue as to what this might
mean.
Also, how do I manually install the TMDB Python module? I have tried
a number of things, but Python is still not finding it.
