MythTV Official Community Forum

This seemed to fix it. Thanks so much for the help In practice, it's only strictly necessary to run mythtv-setup as the mythtv user when it needs to write to the $HOME directory. AFAIK that's only for 2 reasons; 1. Downloading channel icons, which is currently broken anyway 2. Configuring a grabber ...

I looked a little closer at the files. It seemed like the files in .xmltv folder were not using the group mythtv and were not read write so I made sure this occurred and will try again tomorrow.

I understand everything that you are saying and it all makes sense but it is still not updating for me. The number of days in the guide data went down from 20 to 19 with the error code 1 again. Doesn't appear to be much information in the log. I have the Antenna.xmltv and .xmltv folder linked. Here ...

These all remained the same as I never changed the permissions for these: Restore the permissions to what dizygotheca said above. My user was already in the group mythtv Another solution is to make your user a member of the mythtv group. But 1st see if it's already there. As yourself, type: id and s...

Now in the mythtv frontend I am getting Result: FAILED: XMLTV grabber returned error code 1.

I have also just tried running mythfilldatabase from the command line and i get the error code 1 as well.

Ok i finally figured out how to login as sudo -u mythtv mythtv-setup However now when I go into the video sources and select my source and try to configure i get the following error Cannot write to /home/mgranger/.mythtv/Antenna.xmltv at /usr/share/perl5/XMLTV/Configure.pm line 184 ***Exited with st...

I did everything above and it works until I get to the following step. sudo -u mythtv mythtv-setup Here is the outputty I am getting: mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure. No protocol specified xprop: unable to open display ':0.0' status: Name "com.ubuntu.U...

Well i guess this is not figured out because I am still not getting it to update overnight. I seem to be getting the same error: Feb 16 15:20:35 Finalizer mythfilldatabase: mythfilldatabase[31993]: E CoreContext filldata.cpp:613 (Run) tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite --capabilities failed or we timed out wa...

I think I figured it out. Thanks for the help

I am not really sure how to determine wher tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite is installed. Also I don't think i created the link mentioned. I tried to do this however when I ran the mythtv-setup as mythtv user it would not allow me to. I was trying to follow the instructions but wasn't sure where to put the ...

Here is what I am getting when I run mythfilldatabast from the command line 2018-02-13 13:45:33.229911 C mythfilldatabase version: master [v30-Pre-439-gb3fe5d4] www.mythtv.org 2018-02-13 13:45:33.229921 C Qt version: compile: 5.5.1, runtime: 5.5.1 2018-02-13 13:45:33.229923 N Enabled verbose msgs: g...

So i just updated my grabber to use .xmltv however now my mythfilldatabase does not seem to be updating automatically. I looked online for an answer and I found someone mention running this. It seemed to fix the issue so that it ran as a one time update however it still won't update nightly. sudo rm...

Awesome. That seemed to work. I appreciate all the help

I do not see the season or episode in the recorded list so I assume they are not getting put into the database. I have tried to use the metadata lookup (I am probably doing it wrong) but when I do this I always get "No Match Found for this recording. You can try entering TVDB/TMDB number, season, an...

I assume this means that the Season and Episode Number are not getting stored in the Database for some reason
