[mythtv-users] mythfilldatabase and tv_grab_eu_epgdata

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

I see this for weeks or even months now but only today I take the time
to ask:

In mythweb the Status-page tells me that the last mythfilldatabase run
was today but delivered no new EPG/EIT data (it tells me in german so my
translation is not correct ;-) ).

And something like "a reason might be the used XML file" ...

*) The user mythtv runs via crontab:

41 6 * * Sun,Wed /usr/local/bin/tv_grab_eu_epgdata --days 14 --output
/home/mythtv/epg_14.xml

41 6 * * Mon-Sat /usr/local/bin/tv_grab_eu_epgdata --days 3 --output
/home/mythtv/epg_3.xml

... and I get updated files with ~4 and 17 MB in size.

I don't know if my approach to fetch only 3 days on Mon-Sat makes sense?
Could it be the reason for that error?

I would assume that there are changes from mon-sat as well ...

*) user root then runs:


00 08 * * Sun,Wed /usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --only-update-guide
--sourceid 1 --file --xmlfile /home/mythtv/epg_14.xml

00 08 * * Mon-Sat /usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --only-update-guide
--sourceid 1 --file --xmlfile /home/mythtv/epg_3.xml

When I do these steps "manually" I see updated programs etc:

--- so the message in mythweb seems misleading to me ...
Any thoughts on this? Thanks!


btw. mythtv-0.27_p20131124 and mythweb-0.27 on gentoo linux.
