Mythfilldatabase SDJSON api failing

Post by RichardK »

I'm running V32 on Ubuntu. For the last couple of days, my mythfilldatabase runs are failing:

Code: Select all

2022-05-22 06:49:57.403080 E  XMLTV grabber returned error code 1
2022-05-22 06:49:57.751100 E  Malformed XML file, missing </tv> element, at line 1, Premature end of document.
This began happening after I applied the latest updates to V32, but I don't know whether that triggered the problem, or whether there is a problem at Schedules Direct. Another user reported the same problem in their forum, so the problem is not specific to my installation.

I have tried deleting the listings source, and re-creating it, but that did not help.

I'm getting the same error after latest update also.

Thanks, bill6502! That undoubtedly explains that problem.

I suppose we need to wait for the MythTV devs to update the software for compatibility with the new api.

There was/is also a thread on the MythTV Users mailing list:

http://lists.mythtv.org/pipermail/mytht ... 09616.html

If using tv_grab_zz_sdjson, then the authors of that grabber have a fix that's
seems to be available and tested by some. Various reaults.

If using tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite, then it works (when the migration is completed
at Schedules Direct).

No changes are required to any MythTV code because the XMLTV grabbers are
maintained by others.

As of today, it is being reported to once again be working. Schedules Direct fixed the issues by reverting the change back to the PHP API. Great news considering I just uploaded a YouTube video showing an example setup with Schedules Direct using the tv_grab_zz_sdjson grabber.
