mythvidexport.py fails on 0.28.1

[am4c130d]

Hi, I recently upgraded my server from 0.27 to 0.28.1. Everything is work except mythvidexport.py which fails every time - it worked without fail under 0.27, so something changed during the upgrade. It fails when run as a user job as well as from command line. I haven't logged the errors from the user job yet. but command line is as follows.

I don't understand the error message, but everything else appears to be correct - it can access the database, retrieves the show title and episode/subtitle as well as show ID, season and episode.

I'm using:
mythvidexport 0.7.6
Mythtv-backend is from deb-multimedia.org
mythbackend --version

Hi,

Don't use it myself, but possibly related to: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/TheTVDB_API_v2

I'd run: /usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py -l en -D 80646 2017 15
from the command line too, to see if its failing and causing the issue you're seeing.
