Hi All<br>
<br>
I thought I'd put this here in case it helps others in future (I've
seem similar threads recently).<br>
<br>
I have been suffering automatic mythfilldatabase issues on and off
since 0.24 where it always works on the CLI. As people have said
this is because of some permission etc difference between your login
and the mythtv user.<br>
<br>
In 0.26 this was still happening so I su'd to mythtv<br>
<br>
sudo su mythtv<br>
<br>
and ran <br>
<br>
mythfilldatabase -v all<br>
<br>
It came up with the usual xmltv error 13 (the annoying one I've been
googling for ages. But I noticed it also gave <b>the actual command</b>
it ran to get the error:<br>
<br>
command=nice tv_grab_uk_rt --config-file
'/home/mythtv/.mythtv/dvta.xmltv' --output /tmp/mythwvJ6G1,
timeout=0<br>
<br>
I ran this manually as the mythtv user and bingo - the grabber came
up with failure to write to a tmp directory - not the one in the
command but one in the mythtv .xmltv directory (it was owned by
root).<br>
<br>
chown mythtv:mythtv on that directory now its working perfectly :)<br>
<br>
hope this helps someone (not trying to teach anyone to suck eggs
here, just trying to give something back to a wonderful project /
community.<br>
<br>
