Is it configured to write to a log file in a location that it does not have permission to?
Does the backend log reveal anything?

Hey Bj,
1) is your frontend running as myth user?
2) does the crontab work?
3) does the crontab do it as myth user?
Might be stupid questions, but i can as myth
1) run mythfilldatabase - does stuff
2) run tv_grab_au - does stuff
3) cron job mythfilldatabase - does stuff
4) myth gui settings to run mythfilldatabase - does stuff
Not sure where yours is breaking down, but could be something little like permissions as Greg says.
Nathan

Thats it! It tries to write to the log file as the user mythtv, but it didn't have permission! Grrrrr. that has been bugging me for ages. Thanks Guys for your ideas, it works fine now.
Cheers

Anyone have problems with the latest Shepherd? I just installed it on a test version of KM, and it failed miserably, creating an infinite configuration loop and complaining about various things.
Version failing was 1.3.3. Version 1.2.40 was dropped in its place and worked instantly, pointing to the problem being newly introduced.
Anyone? Dust? No?
Mike

Thanks for the heads up Mick, I just checked mine and it only had two days of data left. I ran shepard at the command line and found that it updated all but one grabber (rex). After it updated I then ran mythfilldatabase and it seems to be running ok as we speak, I will report back how it goes.

Well, gosh darn it, you are totally correct. After I'd written that post I realised that Shepherd was updating itself to the latest version and thus totally failing to grab anything.
Back to my script then.
As myth, do this:
su -c "wget http://www.better-access.com/KM/tv_grab_au -O /usr/bin/tv_grab_au"
<enter root password>
Here you will find a problem with the config file creation, and I just cannot find out how to pass authentication in Perl.
I've written a very short script to set up your config file in bash (because it bloody well works, that's why!)
Code: #!/bin/bash
#post channel scan
CHANNELS=''
for j in `grep "channel=" /home/mythtv/.mythtv/digital.xmltv|awk -F= '{print $2}'`
do
CHANNELS="$CHANNELS $j"
done
echo "Please choose an xmltvid from your chosen channels."
echo "Type it in and press enter or just press enter to leave it"
for i in `echo 'select channum,callsign,xmltvid from channel order by channum' | mysql -N -u root mythconverg|sed 's/\ /_/g'|sed 's/\t/=/g'`
do
echo
CHANNUM=`echo $i| awk -F= '{print $1}'`
CHANNAME=`echo $i| awk -F= '{print $2}'`
echo $i| awk -F= '{print "channel " $1 " (" $2 ") currently has xmltvid " $3}'
echo "Choose from:"
echo $CHANNELS
read xmltvid
if [ $xmltvid != '' ]
then echo "UPDATE channel SET xmltvid="$xmltvid" WHERE channum=$CHANNUM" |mysql -u root mythconverg
echo "Channel $CHANNUM has been set to $xmltvid"
else echo "Skipped!"
fi
done
Whack this into a file and run or bash it as user mythtv. In a second or so you will have your config file. After that, the grabber will just work.
The next KM release will incorporate this code into the ausdragon2 setup procedure.
Give me some feedback here. Is Shepherd broken for just Girkers and I, or are we going to see a million views tomorrow when the old version's data runs out?
Mike <-- not Mick

Just discovered mine is kaput as well. I'll try updating as Girkers DID and see what happens.
Cheers

Thanks Mick. I have also written a script for generating the digital.xmltv file, if you haven't already got one. Have to upload it soon, but you'll have to do it manually ATM. Run the xmltvid script to set them up or use mythweb.
Cheers
Mike

Did you do something to get it working, or did it just start working again?
Mike
P.S. I'm not willing to take the risk of going back to it as the default.

I ran the shepherd config and setup again and then mythfilldatabase. Which worked at the time and yesterday but has not worked today. I will not get time to play with this for couple a days. I'd suggest not changing just yet.
Mick

I am using RC14 at the mo as well and tonight I discovered that tv_grab_au is symlinked to the wrong file. In the default setup it is linked to /usr/bin/shepherd, but I found when I ran shepherd by hand it said the symlink should be pointing to /home/myth/.shepherd/shepherd
Once I corrected this and a couple of minor shepherd config things (mainly personal preferences) I ran mythfilldatabase and away she went.

Hi all,
The folks at oztivo.net changed their url without telling anyone.
This basically breaks everything, so if you're finding that everything's broken, I have written an updated tv_grab_au at http://www.better-access.com/KM/tv_grab_au
Cheers
Mike
