[mythtv-users] Mythfilldatabase has stopped working!

[George Poulson]

Hi all,

I've noticed that recently mythfilldatabase has stopped working for me.

When I installed myth over a year ago now I had problems getting it to run
from within the myth-backend setup (all to do with the user that it was
running as) and since then it has been running  fine each night from a cron
job as my own user ('george').

Sometime recently it has started to fail when run from my cron, although it
still runs absolutely perfectly from my command prompt.

The cron job now regularly reports this....

If I run it manually it reports as below..

So it appears that the problem may be something to do with the
'--capabilities' parameter?

I am running 0.24-fixes and I am not aware of making any changes that could
have 'broken' this, apart from running the occasional apt-get
update/upgrade.
I have tried updating XMLTV package (as the error message suggests) but it
hasn't helped.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
George
