Post subject:  Problem switching to Schedules Direct
Please forgive me if I'm missing something stupid and obvious--I'm still new to the whole Linux thing.

I'm trying to switch my KnoppMyth box over to use Schedules Direct. I have a membership, and I followed all of the instructions in this wonderfully-detailed post, and everything seemed to be working just fine--I didn't get any errors when I installed anything. But when I try to add a new video source, it doesn't find my listing, and the error message I get is an "Unauthorized" error that references datadirect.webservices.zap2it.com!

What that suggests to me is that I didn't successfully install the new version of xmltv, the one that uses Schedules Direct instead of zap2it. But I followed the instructions, "make test" said everything was fine, and I didn't get any errors, so I'm baffled as to why I didn't successfully install the new version.

I don't even know how to check what version of xmltv I'm currently running, let alone how to figure out what happened to the new version. Please help?

Thanks in advance!

And hey, I don't know if this is related, but I just discovered that my mythbackend doesn't work anymore either, since I applied the fixes referenced in the previous message. The error I get:

"mythbackend: error while loding shared libraries: libmythtv-0.20.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Help!

Are you sure you were actually root when you did the second "make install"? It sounds like the myth install didn't go so well, and bad permissions could be the key. Is it possible you boned the root password on the su command on the line above the "make install"?

It may be good enough to
- confirm the BE is down,
- cd to your build directory
- su
- make install
- start the BE

Caveat: I've been too much of a coward to do the svn upgrade myself, I've been waiting for R5Fx;

danhw... i'm running into the same problem. i upgraded according to cecil's post, but it didn't seem to work. i can't get access to the new ScedulesDirect listings from mythtv-setup. if i put my old dataDirect/Zap2it user/password in it grabs from the old source, though.

sounds like the upgrade to the most recent version of mythtv isn't working. i'm going to retry.

please report back if you get it to work!

Sounds to me that if your old user and password is working that you have not upgraded to the new XMLTV, as the url for the old zap2itlabs is hard coded so if your old user/password works it must still have the old address....

Just a guess though.

arrgh... did the install for the new xmltv (0.5.48) twice, but got the same result. is there any way i can check the version of xmltv installed?

also, when you do the mythtv upgrade (to 0-20-fixes), what version should show when you check the version on the knoppmyth menu. i'm showing 20.200... there are a lot of numbers. i can post the whole thing later when i'm home.

thanks!

Try
Code:
XMLTV --version


I am not at my box, so that is a guess.

FYI - the new version allows access to both zap2it and schedulesdirect. Both options will show up in mythtv-setup. The instructions Cecil post worked for me on an R5D1 system, although I ran everything as root...

ahh... good to know. one more question, then. in mythtv-setup, when you define the sources, what will the Schedules Direct option show up as? Right now i only have an option for something like "North America (DataDirect)". should there be another choice like "North America (SchedulesDirect)?

if that's the case, it seems to point to the 0-20-fixes version of mythtv not completely installing, right?

I stand corrected then, thats what I get for not reading everything about the new version then.

As for the sources, I think my newly compiled MythTV only shows a Schedules Direct source. Not at the computer once again so I can verify this later.

Thank you muchly! I thought I was root before, but I re-ran as root and the backend now runs just fine. It also solved the Schedules Direct problem too, so I guess the two were related after all.

Thanks again, and to the other people with similar problems on the thread, listen to this jmckeown2 person--good advice.
