sometimes they are available - sometimes not. When I run the check script
from the terminal I see this:
aryl@trieli:/usr/local/bin$ sudo ./hdhomerun_check.py
[sudo] password for daryl:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/./hdhomerun_check.py", line 64, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/local/bin/./hdhomerun_check.py", line 31, in main
logging.basicConfig(filename='/tmp/hdhr_discovery.log',
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/logging/__init__.py", line 2040, in basicConfig
h = FileHandler(filename, mode,
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/logging/__init__.py", line 1169, in __init__
StreamHandler.__init__(self, self._open())
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/logging/__init__.py", line 1201, in _open
return open_func(self.baseFilename, self.mode,
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/tmp/hdhr_discovery.log'
daryl@trieli:/usr/local/bin$

How do I correct this? TIA Daryl

My guess is that you have run this script as different users. It looks
like a bug in the script that does not anticipate this.
It can not write to the file: '/tmp/hdhr_discovery.log', so remove it,
if needed with sudo and try the script again.

If this indeed is the problem, the script should set world permissions
to the file to rw.

If the script reuses the file you could fix it by manually setting the
word permissions on that file to rw. If it deletes and recreates the
file the script needs fixing.

daryl@trieli:/usr/local/bin$ sudo rm /tmp/hdhr_discovery.log
[sudo] password for daryl:
daryl@trieli:/usr/local/bin$ sudo ./hdhomerun_check.py
daryl@trieli:/usr/local/bin$

Does this now indicate a successful run of the script?

Looks like something I wrote long ago. It was intended to be run ONLY by
user mythtv. There was a comment at the beginning of the script that said
as much.

The exit code would be 0 for success. The log has the actual output.
Exit codes are documented in the beginning of the program.

But, here a current copy that prints to the terminal if run there. It
still logs to the file when run from mythtv-backend.service, *for example*.

Any reason I should change over to this new 1.28 version?
