EPG update problems

Hi All

Till now,due to the lack of a permanent LAN connection,I have been
updating the EPG by manually running tv_grab_nz-py and then
mythfilldatabase weekly.
I now have a wireless LAN,so I am trying to automate the process.
I have run into problems.I have followed these instructions:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/mythtvnz/501519?search_string=tv_grab_nz-py;#501519
Am I correct to think that running tv_grab_nz-py should automatically
cause mythfilldatabase to run,updating the EPG.In my case it doesn't.
I can only achieve this by manually running mythfilldatabase.
I have tried to use this alternative method From another thread:

"Oh - and once you're done - here's an easy script to import the EPG data:

#! /bin/bash
wget http://nzepg.org/freeview.xml.gz
gunzip freeview.xml.gz
mythfilldatabase --file 1 freeview.xml --update
rm freeview.xml
exit

Paste it into a text file, save it with a ".sh" extension, make it
executable (chmod +x) then run it as a daily cron task at, say, 3am and
you never need be without an up-to-date EPG!"

This also does not work for me.When I run this script in a terminal I get
the following output:

myth [at] myt:~$ /home/myth/nzepg_download.sh
--2012-06-10 09:01:34-- http://nzepg.org/freeview.xml.gz

Boolean type options do not accept values:
--file
Received '1' but unassociated arguments have not been enabled
mythfilldatabase version: fixes/0.25 [v0.25-94-gec51a97] www.mythtv.org

Mythfilldatabase does not run as a result of this script.
Any suggestions that might get either method working will be appreciated.

Cheers

Paul

They changed the mythfilldatabase syntax in 0.25. Grr. God knows why
they couldn't just _extend_ it instead of changing it and immediately
breaking thousands of myth user scripts. Really dumb IMHO. Anyway you
now need this:

mythfilldatabase --file --sourceid 1 --xmlfile freeview.xml --update

As David says, that change will get my script working again :)

I have did update the instructions for it on the archives here once I
realised Myth had changed the syntax requirements.

You don't need to run any script. Simply set tv_grab_nz-py as your
xmltv grabber in mythtv-setup. mythfilldatabase will run automatically
every day.

I will also try that.You may be correct that I don't actually have a
problem with
tv_grab_nz-py.I will check to see what db updates are occurring.I've set
cron to run the
script at 18:30 daily updates also occur at other times I will know
tv_grab_nz-py is working too.

The script is working well.Thanks everyone.

Good to hear it's working. Yes, you don't NEED anything else other
than the tv_grab_nz.py if it works for you, but IMHO it still seems
less elegant (as evidenced by numbers of lines of code) than my script
;)

We all used a few commands in a file like that for years.

With MythTV, mythfilldatabase running the grabber for you is the way
it's designed to work.

I have been doing some further playing with the automated EPG update in
MythTV backend set up.
If I set the time for mythfilldatabase to run,it runs and I get a failed
message on the status page.

" xmltv returned error code 2"
I can't find what error code 2 is.

If I run mythfilldatabase any other way i.e. manually, it updates ok.
Here is the mythfilldatabase log:

Re: EPG update problems [In reply to]

mythfilldatabase when run automatically from BE runs as diff user
(mythtv).
When run manually from terminal, mythfilldatabase runs as that session
user.
So problem could be permissions etc..

Quite correct. It's possibly a PATH error too.

Re: EPG update problems [In reply to]

Error code 2 is "No such file or directory" from
/usr/include/asm-generic/errno-base.h

So, you are missing the file /home/mythtv/.mythtv/Freeview.xmltv

Just copy it from the directory that .mythtv directory of the user
that you used to run mythfilldatabase as.

Cheer,
PK

Ok I think I see where the problem is.
My Freeview.xmltv is in /home/myth/.mythtv/Freeview.xmltv - my user is
myth.
I've copied it into /home/mythtv/.mythtv/Freeview.xmltv.
Hopefully that will work.

thanks

Paul

One more question.
I see why the automated mythfilldatabase process differs from the manually
initiated one.
The manual one's path for Freeview.xmltv is
/home/myth/.mythtv/Freeview.xmltv
The one initiated by the BE path is /home/mythtv/.mythtv/Freeview.xmltv

So my question is: will the system be ok with the different path (
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/Freeview.xmltv.)
I don't need to change anything else?
I've checked the manual mythfilldatabase still works as before.Waiting for
the BE to do it on it's own at the next scheduled period.

Cheers

Paul

For fewer complications, you might like to make sure all the real
config files are under /home/mythtv/.mythtv, then delete your
/home/myth/.mythtv directory and re-create it as a link to
/home/myth/.mythtv. Make sure the permissions on the files in
/home/mythtv/.mythtv will work with the myth user also.
