[mythtv-users] Cant add channel linup on fresh installs

Wed Oct 10 21:12:48 UTC 2012

>    I have built multiple mythbuntu installs over the past week and for
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> some reason none of them will allow me to download my channel lineup from
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> schedules direct. I have tried on 0.25, 0.25 + fixes, and 0.26. I have
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> tried on multiple types of hardware and vm's. I even pulled the drive out
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> of my current working myth 0.25 back-end and tried on that hardware
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> which previously worked fine, and it wont even work.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> So wait a second... your trying to tell me that a working
>>>>>>>>>>>>> install failed with just a hardware change... that makes no sense.  I
>>>>>>>>>>>>> suspect that it's a network issue, as that is the only thing that would fit.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Are you using DHCP?  Is there anything unique about it's
>>>>>>>>>>>>> configuration?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> If your using manual IP's, did  you set dns servers in
>>>>>>>>>>>>> resolv.conf?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Actually I have even tried a fresh install on the exact same
>>>>>>>>>>>> hardware and different hardware. And by fresh install I mean as soon as
>>>>>>>>>>>> mythbuntu boots for the first time I go into the backend setup and try to
>>>>>>>>>>>> add a video source. Then when I try to fetch channels the progress bar goes
>>>>>>>>>>>> to 50% then disappears.
>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>> My network is DHCP, nothing unique. Same dhcp networt that I
>>>>>>>>>>>> used a month ago when I build my production backend that works.
>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> I, and several others, had the same problem upon installing and
>>>>>>>>>>> updating mythbuntu 12.04... but a reboot resolved it.  I suspected that
>>>>>>>>>>> some library was getting upgraded or soemthing, but because it was in use
>>>>>>>>>>> during the upgrade the new version was not being used.  One other guy had a
>>>>>>>>>>> DNS issue (used a static IP and didn't set the DNS servers).
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> What really gets me is that a working install doesn't work when
>>>>>>>>>>> moved to new hardware... this rules out anything software related... which
>>>>>>>>>>> makes me suspect network.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> Are you prompted for a password if you go to "/
>>>>>>>>>>> http://webservices.schedulesdirect.tmsdatadirect.com/schedulesdirect/tvlistings/xtvdService"...
>>>>>>>>>>> if you supply your SD credentials you should get a GET method not supported.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> I went to that link and was prompted, after entering my
>>>>>>>>>> credentials I got the "GET method" error.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> I think I might have mislead you somehow. I haven't moved a
>>>>>>>>>> working install to new hardware. I have a working install that I shutdown
>>>>>>>>>> and removed the disk on, so that I could test a fresh install on hardware
>>>>>>>>>> that I know has worked. I have also tried fresh installs on different
>>>>>>>>>> hardware and even on VM. I am confident that my network isn't the issue
>>>>>>>>>> because I do have my working install on the same network, also I can hit
>>>>>>>>>> Schedules Direct manually. I don't think it is a hardware issue because I
>>>>>>>>>> have tried it on different types of hardware (and even my known working
>>>>>>>>>> hardware). I am at a loss and becoming frustrated!!
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> Ahh yes, I was confused by the sentence "I even pulled the drive
>>>>>>>>> out of my current working myth 0.25 back-end and tried on that hardware
>>>>>>>>> which previously worked fine, and it wont even work.".
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> One more thing to try, delete all of the ~/.mythtv/config.xml file
>>>>>>>>> for all user accts, then rerun mythtv-setup to recreate it.  Perhaps one of
>>>>>>>>> the updates is migrating blank data from the depreciated mysql.txt during
>>>>>>>>> the installs?
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> If that doesn't work try running the following command: "mythfilldatabase
>>>>>>>>> --dd-grab-all -v file,network --loglevel debug --logpath /tmp" and post the
>>>>>>>>> log file somewhere (pastebin).  The log file should tell us where
>>>>>>>>> it's breaking down.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> Ok, i deleted the config file, went back through setup and got the
>>>>>>>> same deal. Ran the command manually and here is the link to the pastebin
>>>>>>>> http://pastebin.com/kB468xPN
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> From what I can tell it looks like the mythfilldatabase actually
>>>>>>>> worked... but ill let you tell me what you see.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> I don't see anything odd there either.  Hmm.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> So the only problem your seeing is when the system is retrieving
>>>>>>> lineups in mythtv-setup?  Here are a few things you might try:
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Change your username.
>>>>>>> Change your password.
>>>>>>> Delete and recreate lineups.
>>>>>>> Create a 'fake' lineup with a different source (say antenna rather
>>>>>>> than cable or vice versa).
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> I suspect that it is something related to the above, because you can
>>>>>>> see that mythfilldatabase is having no trouble grabbing the data.
