The crash could be because of an empty program database.

It was me that added the code to use a different XMLTV program from
the tv_grab_na that Isaac was using for North America. I added in the
ability to use tv_grab_uk. There are some differences with the two
programs, for example tv_grab_na accepts a --offset option that
tv_grab_uk does not.
The tv_grab_de program does not seem to accept a --config-file option
which the tv_grab_na and tv_grab_uk programs do. This is a big
problem since it is how MythTV knows which programs to get for each
input source.
the file MC/programs/mythfilldatabase/filldata.cpp contains the following:
-------------------- filldata.cpp --------------------
if (offset >= 0)
command.sprintf("nice -19 %s --days 1 --offset %d --config-file %s "
"--output %s", xmltv_grabber.ascii(),
offset, configfile.ascii(), filename.ascii());
else
command.sprintf("nice -19 %s --days 7 --config-file %s --output %s",
xmltv_grabber.ascii(), configfile.ascii(),
filename.ascii());
-------------------- filldata.cpp --------------------
I think that you want to replace this with
-------------------- filldata.cpp --------------------
if (xmltv_grabber == "tv_grab_uk")
command.sprintf("nice -19 %s --days 7 --config-file %s --output %s",
xmltv_grabber.ascii(), configfile.ascii(),
filename.ascii());
else if (xmltv_grabber == "tv_grab_de")
command.sprintf("nice -19 %s --days 7 --output %s",
xmltv_grabber.ascii(),
filename.ascii());
else
command.sprintf("nice -19 %s --days 1 --offset %d --config-file %s "
"--output %s", xmltv_grabber.ascii(),
offset, configfile.ascii(), filename.ascii());
-------------------- filldata.cpp --------------------
also try replacing
-------------------- filldata.cpp --------------------
if (xmltv_grabber == "tv_grab_uk")
{
// tv_grab_uk doesn't support the --offset option, so just grab a week.
for (it = sourcelist.begin(); it != sourcelist.end(); ++it)
grabData(*it, xmltv_grabber, -1);
}
-------------------- filldata.cpp --------------------
with
-------------------- filldata.cpp --------------------
if (xmltv_grabber == "tv_grab_uk" || xmltv_grabber == "tv_grab_de")
{
// tv_grab_uk/de don't support the --offset option, so just grab a week.
for (it = sourcelist.begin(); it != sourcelist.end(); ++it)
grabData(*it, xmltv_grabber, -1);
}
-------------------- filldata.cpp --------------------
If this works then we can generate a proper patch.
You probably want to run the mythfilldatabase program with the
--manual option the first time to let you edit the details.
Also you need to run the setup program (setup/main.cpp), try replacing
-------------------- main.cpp --------------------
QString command = xmltv_grabber + " --configure --config-file " +
filename;
-------------------- main.cpp --------------------
with
-------------------- main.cpp --------------------
QString command = xmltv_grabber;
-------------------- main.cpp --------------------
as a temporary fix.
Run this before you run the mythfilldatabase program.
