FAILED: XMLTV grabber returned error code 1

I can’t find a file on the system named antenna.xmltv or Comcast.xmltv, just /home/mythtv/.mythtv/source_name.xmltv

NOTE: I have both a HVR2250 and a HDHomeRun, so I configured XMLTV for two Schedules Direct line-ups, Comcast and antenna. Is this correct?

I have been searching and trying for days on this XMLTV problem and have run out of ideas.


OTHER SYMPTOMS: [pertinent?]

I can’t seem to run MythFillDataBase and mythconverg_backup.pl from a terminal window [sudo su - mythtv] without fully-qualifying them.

When I start the MythTV BackEnd, it can’t delete the LiveTV recordings I have made [not found, but .ts files exist in /var/lib/mythtv/livetv/.

I had to put in a delay for the BackEnd to start up, to allow the HVR2250s to download firmware.

I can’t watch TV recordings with a Time Stretch > 1.25, it now has audio dropouts. The same hardware ran 27 fine at 2.0 times. Also sometimes lip-synch delays on recordings.

I can’t seem to seem a shared folder on this server on another desktop with Ubuntu 18.04, though it used to before the 20.04 install.

HARDWARE:

Ubuntu 20.04 (x86_64)
Qt 5.12.8
MythTV fixes/31 (v31.0-v31.0)
Intel Core i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz × 8
Intel HD Graphics 3000 (SNB GT2)
Gnome 3.36.3

It appears that after the perl Makefile.PL, you didn't do the make, make test and sudo make install.

Take a look at this: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=3908&p=19010#p19010
for how your mythtv directories/files should look. You may choose different database names
for each source, or you can use one (which is what the example does.)

Run mythfilldatabase -v system and you'll see the grabber command. You can run that from
the command line to get a handle on the issue if necessary.

[anoldguy]

Thank you for the response Bill.

I did do the make test and sudo make install .

The solution was to output the tv_grab_zz_sdjson files of antenna.xmltv and Comcast.xmltv to the folder /home/mythtv/.mythtv

Thank you again Bill, it is so nice to have schedules again!
