Hi,
mythfilldatabase runs fine when I run it manually as the mythtv user via the command prompt but when I set it to automatically run via the mythtv options I notice it fails?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Dom

I am having a similar issue. The error I get when the backend runs it automatically is: Code: 2006-05-06 18:57:34.797 Updating source #1 (Television) with grabber tv_grab_au
2006-05-06 18:57:34.825 ----------------- Start of XMLTV output ----------------

2006-05-06 18:57:34.826 New DB connection, total: 3
2006-05-06 18:57:34.828 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost
This version of tv_grab_au is not configured!
If you are using mythfilldatabase, you'll need to configure from
within mythtv-setup (or with an appropriate --config-file option),
otherwise simply run with the --configure option.

Error in 1:1: unexpected end of file
This is with the australian grabber from www.immir.com/tv_grab_auWhen I run mythfilldatabase from the command line as mythtv, here is an extract from the output: Code: 2006-05-07 10:25:29.728 Updating source #1 (Television) with grabber tv_grab_au

I have configured it from within mythtv-setup, and the setup options page that deals with mythfilldatabase does niot specify any additional options to be passed to mythfilldatabase

One of the grabbers has a dependency on the HOME variable being set (and exported). I think there was eventually a solution for the problem involving a wrapper script. Searching for the name of the grabber in the forums should turn it up...

Hi Greg.
I had the same problem for ages. I had to add debug into the tv_grab_au script just before that error to find out what user it was running as, what config file it was trying to open, what that file's permissions were, et c.
In the end, I don't remember what fix I had to do, but I think it was probably chmod 777 the config file.
I will try to check tonight when I get home.

I had the same issue as well. I looked in /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log and realized, that it was searching the config file in /root/.mythtv/... so I just copied my config file from /home/mythtv/.mythtv to /root/.mythtv/... after that, it worked for me.

I think tjc might have, in an inspirational, awe inspiring piece of insight, hit the nail on the head. Haven't worked out if that is the real problem yet, but I get exactly the same error from the command line if I do: Code: unset HOME
mythfilldatabase EDIT: I have thought about the best way to fix this, and I believe it is to make the backend task have the HOME environment variable set to mythtv's home directory (since it runs as the mythtv user). To do this I added a line after this line in /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend Code: USER=mythtv that looks like this: Code: HOME=/home/$USER
Can anyone see any reasons why this change should not be made to the mythtv-backend script that comes with knoppmyth by default?
