mythfilldatabase doesn't do authentication callback

[bill6502]

I seem to be experiencing the same problem reported previously in this thread
Authorization: Basic Og==

Hi,

Just to be sure, does the following (from your favorite browser) return the
UserId and Password you're expecting? And the Grabber should be set
to: schedulesdirect1 .

Code: Select all

yourBackendHostNameOrIP:6544/Channel/GetVideoSourceList

I just tested my 0.28 backend and if I set the username and password to nothing,
I get the same 'Og==' you do. Good to know that there are now 2 with the same
symptoms and odd that others aren't reporting it here or on the mailing lists or
IRC. If it's Qt, I'm at a loss too.

Bill and Craig,

Thanks very much for the help with this!

I am now able to successfully download the guide data. It appears that I had two rows in the videosource table with xmltvgrabber of schedulesdirect1 (see table below). The entry for sourceid 1 with xmltvgrabber schedulesdirect1 had a blank userid and password. The entry for sourceid 2 was configured correctly with a valid userid, lineupid, and password. Even though mythtfilldatabase iterated over all 4 sources and sourceid 2 was configured correctly, the authentication was not passed to schedulesdirect for sourceid 2. I don't imagine that the entries for sourceid 3 and 4 had anything to do with the problem. The fix was to delete all sources and recreate only the valid source. I'm not sure how I initially created sourceid 1 with no name, userid or password, but apparently this should be avoided!

Thanks again,

Jamie
