Comment (by Argus <pthorn-mythd@…>):

 I had the same thing happen to me, but different cause. It turned out that
 my startup script failed to set $HOME for mythfrontend due to the
 environment it operates in.

 After I set $HOME to what it should have been: success.

 One must ensure that something supports tilde expansion, as tmdb3.py tries
 to open ''~/.mythtv/pytmdb3.cache'' and fails immediately if it can't. The
 generic error message doesn't really help when it fails this way, but I
 don't think anything really needs to be "fixed." In a properly configured
 environment everything seems fine.
