Hi Ray,

Yes! That was the problem.

This is the first three lines of my ttvdb.py said:

#!
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
# ----------------------
# Name: ttvdb.py



This is what it should look like:

#!/usr/bin/env python 
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*- 
# ---------------------- 
# Name: ttvdb.py 

Once I changed the first line, it started working with MythTV.

I think I should feed this back to ATRPMS as soon as possible.

Thanks for your help.
