Hi
this is a non trivia; question around the guts of metagraber on 31.

I have been playing lots to get an osx frontend working, I’ve built an ubuntu backend machine, built from source and downloaded the mythtv packages.
I’ve also built for opensuse-Tumbleweed and downloaded packman builds.

During this, because some metadata is populated, download DID work but my current testing, even when I delete metadata and i->change video detail->retrieve deta, failes with a failed message immediatly.

Running the grabber from CL gives a nice xml dump that looks correct including art url that works.
I’ve looked at the code, but it is too hard for me to follow.

How can I trouble shoot? In particalar some thing is causing ‘return with ok=false’ immediatly.
Thanks
James

PS
i->change video detail->retrieve deta does not log any activity
but scan does a mythmetadata grab and I see bla bla movie DATE

When I run that grab from CL it fails, without DATE it succeeds

A few questions:
Do you use the frontend running osx or opensuse to grab metadata?

Did you configure the frontend build for python2 or python3?

What does the following command return on the frontend:
{{{
head -n1 /usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py
}}}
Substitute the path to your needs.

Is the following code snippet taken from
"mythtv/programs/mythmetadatalookup/main.cpp:71"
compiled in?
{{{
#ifdef Q_OS_MAC
QString path = QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath();
setenv("PYTHONPATH",
QString("%1/../Resources/lib/python2.6/site-packages:%2")
.arg(path)

.arg(QProcessEnvironment::systemEnvironment().value("PYTHONPATH"))
.toUtf8().constData(), 1);
#endif
}}}

You may find similar occurrences in
"mythtv/programs/mythfrontend/main.cpp:1872"
and
"mythtv/programs/mythbackend/main.cpp:99"

QString("%1/../Resources/lib/python2.6/site-packages:%2")

Just tried thanks a million, I can live with this

OSX frontend does not work.
SuSE frontend does work

python 3.8 (as is the SuSE build)

It may be Q_OS_MAC worked before 5.14 but no longer does

Asking is easier than unraveling the code.
OSX frontend that does not work logs this

I Running Grabber: -l en -a AU -C 295370

The linux front end that does work logs this

I Running Grabber: /usr/local/share/mythtv/metadata/Movie/tmdb3.py -l en -a AU -C 295370

So it seems the osx frontend does not find the graber.

I have patched all defines of Q_OS_MAC.* to Q_OS_MACOS
I can't find if qt 5.14 removed those macros yet.
I also cannot find how/where the grabberpath is discovered.
I don't think the OSX frontend is finding the grabbers.

Any one can help ?
James

The MacOS app I built probabaly won't find anyhing outside of the bundled
application (beyond stuff stored in the user's .mythtv directory). This is
partly due the runprefix being set to "../Resources" so that the
application would be portable to other macs.

...you could try copying the missing bits into the app bundle. In all
likelihood, this will spake another round of copy in and make the bundle
aware of the missing dylibs for any of the copied in applications.

John I copied the (python) grabbers into the bundle. (/Applications/mythfrontend.app/Contents/Resources/shared/mythtv/metadata/[Movie|Telivision]/grabber-whatever-the-name.py)
The app does NOT find them.
I do not understand the whole concept. (just a glimer of light)
I have a frontend on catelina, on high sierra. They work and I can build.
I grab meta data from a (linux) frontend in a VM.
I guess it is time to stop worring-fussing - so just a general thank-you

James
