I’m 99% certain that I never had to create it on my main machine, either…

I know that in 0.28 the locations of cache and temporary files under ~/.mythtv/ will change[1][2], with pytmdb3.cache moving from ~/.mythtv/pytmdb3.cache to ~/.mythtv/cache/pytmdb3.cache, among other things.

I haven’t looked at the code, but that’s what *seems* to be happening. What gets me though, is if that is so, if tmdb3.py really *is* behaving that way, is how it could’ve worked for anyone, ever!
