You can replace mythfilldatabase with the bash script. You'll need to do 
so in mythbackend. See step 5 on this wiki article: 
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/XMLTV_CH


Also make sure to run the configure commands with

sudo -H -u mythtv

So that they are owned by the mythtv user(ie the user that runs myth), 
so that it'll be able to read the config files. obviously the mythtv 
user should also be able to access where ever the result .xml files get 
made. I'd probably use "/var/tmp" for this.

sudo -H -u mythtv tv_grab_sd_json --configure --config-file 
/media/FILE/FOLDER/us.conf
