Not finding my mainmenu.xml?
Posted: Tue Oct 01, 2019 12:57 pm
I'm modifying a theme. In ~/.mythtv/themes I've copied a whole theme directory to a new name, and modified the name in themeinfo.xml. I am able to select this menu in setup.
I want to modify items on the main menu, which this theme doesn't redefine, so I copied /usr/share/mythtv/themes/defaultmenu/mainmenu.xml into my new theme directory and modified it. Ownership and attributes are correct (same as other files in the directory.)
It's not picking it up. I know you have to exit and restart the frontend to pick up changes to the main menu (unlike menus linked from it) but I have done that. It doesn't even pick it up after this morning's boot (which shouldn't be necessary, anyway.)
The only thing mythfrontend.log tells me is that mainmenu.xml was found for my theme name.
What am I doing wrong?
