I have had some time to look into this a bit more.

Mythweb tells me this:
Last mythfilldatabase run started on Mon Oct 21, 10:08 PM and ended on Mon
Oct 21, 10:08 PM. mythfilldatabase ran, but did not insert any new data
into the Guide for 1 of 2 sources. This can indicate a potential grabber
failure.


mythbackend.log shows this:
Oct 21 22:00:26 mythcenter mythbackend: mythbackend[21050]: I CoreContext
housekeeper.cpp:677 (Run) Queueing HouseKeeperTask 'MythFillDB'.
Oct 21 22:00:26 mythcenter mythbackend: mythbackend[21050]: I HouseKeeping
mythdbcon.cpp:409 (PurgeIdleConnections) New DB connection, total: 19
Oct 21 22:00:26 mythcenter mythbackend: mythbackend[21050]: I HouseKeeping
housekeeper.cpp:133 (Run) Running HouseKeeperTask 'MythFillDB'.
...
Oct 21 22:08:33 mythcenter mythbackend: mythbackend[21050]: I Scheduler
scheduler.cpp:2093 (HandleReschedule) Reschedule requested for MATCH 0 0 0
- MythFillDatabase
Oct 21 22:08:33 mythcenter mythbackend: mythbackend[21050]: I HouseKeeping
housekeeper.cpp:151 (Run) HouseKeeperTask 'MythFillDB' Finished
Successfully.
Oct 21 22:08:35 mythcenter mythbackend: mythbackend[21050]: I Scheduler
scheduler.cpp:2206 (HandleReschedule) Scheduled 647 items in 1.8 = 0.45
match + 0.60 check + 0.73 place

I believe this has something to do with my second source setup.
Source 1: Schedules Direct, mapped to 6 HDHomeRun Prime inputs
Source 2: No Grabber, Mapped to HLS Tuner

Source 2 was setup in Mythtv 0.26 and ran fine.  After upgrade to 0.27,
this stopped working.  If run mythfilldatabase manually or enter
mythtv-setup and exit and prompted to run mythfilldatabase it run
successfully.

Could there be something in this No Grabber setup (the db has the grabber
set to /bin/true when I look there)?
