[mythtv-users] 0.24 and video metadata, again

[Bob Sully]

Hi all -

Since upgrading to 0.24 (worked fine in 0.23), I've been having problems
with grabbing metadata for my videos - both movies ripped from my DVD
collection and recorded TV shows which I have edited and saved as .avi or
.mkv files.  The machine is a BE/FE running Ubuntu 10.04 and JYA's
binaries.

After hitting the "W" key, it seems to go through the motions, but doesn't
return anything (or if it does, doesn't update the DB).

I haven't been using jamu (I have always done the metadata updates
manually), but I see the following in my /var/log/mythtv/jamu.log:

! Error: Jamu must be run on a MythTV backend. Local host (vader) is not a
MythTV backend.
With any -M option Jamu must be run on a MythTV backend
! Warning - Could not find setting 'BackendServerIP' on host 'vader'


Well, the IP address is where it should be in mythtv-setup: 192.168.1.9.

I grepped "BackendServerIP" but didn't find anything, in the two files
that it came up with, I could change to fix this.


If I run it from the command line - the script for TV shows doesn't work,
but for movies, it at least is able to grab the data (but doesn't put it
into the DB):
