[mythtv-users] ttvdb.py won't read config file - am i stupid?

[robert offner]

Thank you Doug,
the config file is exactly the same i used (i tried diff them both).
The Problem is not the exact name as i wrote it (Magnum, P.I. - .....) it
works fine without config file and " ttvdb.py -M "Magnum, P.I." gets the
data.
I thought the point of the config file was to map a name which is'nt found
to a specific tmdb nr. so i tried:

/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py -dc
/home/rob/.mythtv/ttvdb.conf -M "Magnum, P I"
opts {'usage': False, 'configure': '/home/rob/.mythtv/ttvdb.conf',
'screenshot': False, 'raw': False, 'fanart': False, 'poster': False,
'mythvideo': False, 'list': True, 'collection': False, 'banner': False,
'language': u'en', 'version': False, 'numbers': False, 'num_seasons':
False, 'test': False, 'data': False, 'debug': True, 'interactive': False}

args [u'Magnum, P I']
[u'Magnum, P I']
####################
# series_season_ep array( [u'Magnum, P I'] )
####################
# Starting tvtvb
# Processing (Magnum, P I) Series
# ..got tvdb mirrors
# Start to process series or series_season_ep
####################

a second try without config file and Name with dots:
/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py -d -M "Magnum, P.I."
opts {'usage': False, 'configure': '', 'screenshot': False, 'raw': False,
'fanart': False, 'poster': False, 'mythvideo': False, 'list': True,
'collection': False, 'banner': False, 'language': u'en', 'version': False,
'numbers': False, 'num_seasons': False, 'test': False, 'data': False,
'debug': True, 'interactive': False}

args [u'Magnum, P.I.']
[u'Magnum, P.I.']
####################
# series_season_ep array( [u'Magnum, P.I.'] )
####################
# Starting tvtvb
# Processing (Magnum, P.I.) Series
# ..got tvdb mirrors
# Start to process series or series_season_ep
####################

    <description>Former Naval Intelligence officer Thomas Magnum resigns
his commission to become a private investigator on the north shore of Oahu,
Hawaii. He lands a home in the guest house on the estate of millionaire
author Robin Masters in exchange for testing the estate's security, but is
forced to work under the strict and ever watchful eye of Jonathan Higgins,
a former British Army soldier who serves as the estate manager, and
constantly patrols the grounds with his two "lads" Zeus and Apollo, who are
loyally trained Doberman Pinschers always ready to pounce on Magnum. Magnum
makes good use of the perks that come with working on the estate, including
driving Masters' sporty red 308 GTS Ferrari, Audi, and all-terrain Jimmy,
as well as equipment such as high-end cameras and telescopes.</description>

is working.


Version of the grabber:

<grabber>
  <name>TheTVDB.com</name>
  <author>R.D.Vaughan</author>
  <thumbnail>ttvdb.png</thumbnail>
  <command>ttvdb.py</command>
  <type>television</type>
  <description>Search and metadata downloads for thetvdb.com</description>
  <version>1.1.5</version>
</grabber>


in the config file (i used the one from the gitrepository now) it just says:
[series_name_override]
Magnum, P I:74380

as one can see this is not working.

I don't get it.
PS I also tried the "=" instead of ":" in the config as you suggested -
still no  result (well no positive result anyway).
