the log reports grab sdjson is not supported and is asking to upgrade
to later version. you would have to go through the xmltv wiki for
mythtv. i find it much easier to run mythfilldatabase outside of myth
backend with just a daily timer. i grab the xml for the listings on a
'channels' basis rather than grab everything and then run
mythfilldatabase with --file option and specify the xml file grabbed
and the source id in myth. either way first update your xmltv grabbers
and test.

Is tv_grab_zz_sdjson installed?

It was not.

I tried running it, and it told me that I could install it by installing xmltv-util.

Is there a reason this is not automatically installed when mythTV is installed?

I ran backend setup again so I could force a mythfilldatabase run.

It now reports that it failed, and Mythweb actually reports that it ran today but failed, so the results are at least different now.

I still don't know what I need to do to fix it.

Good question, I'd say because XMLTV grabbers get selected by the user. I
use the
SQLite version too. Others like the text one. And then there's all of the
grabbers for other
countries.

I'd run it again but add: -v system,xmltv


You'll see the actual command like used by the grabber. Run that (also as
user mythtv) for clues.

Because it is an optional component. Some
package management systems, or packagers,
will suggest or recommend installing xmltv as
part of the installation, but there are some
people for which the EIT guide data from the
video source capture are sufficient, and do
not wish to have xmltv.

Unless you copied the grabber configuration
from your previous system you will likely need
to run the grabber configure steps to recreate
the information needed to actually obtain data.
Just refer to your notes when you previously
installed.

I ran sudo -u mythtv mythfilldatabase -v system,xmltv

There was an error that said I needed to run tv_grab_zz_sdjson with --configure, so I ran

sudo -u mythtv tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure

used all the defaults except which lineup to use

ran

sudo -u mythtv mythfilldatabase -v system,xmltv

again and got the same error.

Ran

tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure

again as myself, and it still says I need to run it with --configure

What am I missing?

results of the run:

sudo -u mythtv mythfilldatabase -v system,xmltv

Success!... I think.

I found the MythTV wiki on the subject and attempted to follow the instructions to configure the grabber, and failed miserably.

This sparked a memory of doing this years ago, and I remembered that the only way I succeeded last time was that I did it within
backend setup.

So I tried that.

Each video source had two EPG checkboxes, and two configure buttons. I checked each checkbox for EPG, and ran through the setup,
once for each button for each video source.

mythfilldatabase ran for much longer this time, and Mythweb says it succeeded.

All four of my video sources pull from the same schedules direct listing, since they are all over the air channels. Each source
is associated with a different antenna, so each is a different subset of the channels from the listing.

I have three antennas pointed at three different antenna farms, but one antenna has two HDHomeRun boxes attached, one of which
is ATSC3.0 capable, so it has to have a different video source since it can receive more channels than the ATSC 1.0 box.

I worry that this setup is causing mythfilldatabase to download the same data four times. It works, but I think it is causing
extra unnecessary work for the schedules direct server. Am I correct in this assumption? Is there a way I should have done it
differently so that the data is only downloaded once?

I enabled the EPG because there are quite a few channels that are not getting schedules from schedules direct since the xmltvid
is not populated. How is this being populated? It used to be that I had to do this manually, but it seems some of the channels
are getting automatically populated. The value used to be just a number, but now it includes a web address.


I think the reason that I failed to get the command line config to work is that I was confused and entered the listing name from
schedules direct instead of the video source name from mythTV.

In any case, it appears to be working now.

Thank you for your help.

I was wrong!

It works if I run mythfill database by clicking the button when I exit backend setup, but if I let it run normally from the
mythbackend, it does not work.

It also does not work  from the command line.

I think I just noticed the error, but I don't know how to fix it.

I run the --configure option with this command:

sudo -u mythtv tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure --config-file $HOME/.mythtv/Noth.xmltv

but if I run:

sudo -u mythtv echo $HOME
/home/dpeale

it points to my directory rather than /home/mythtv

If I look at the error messages in the log:

It is trying to use /home/mythtv instead.

So using "sudo -u mythtv" isn't setting the $HOME directory correctly.

I could try copying the stuff in my directory into /home/mythtv, but I suspect that would screw something up.

How do I run as mythtv with the mythtv environment?

Even running mythbackendsetup from the Adiministaton menu uses my environment.

$HOME is getting expanded before becoming user mythtv, so it's
your own home, not mythtv's. You can reference the proper
directory with ~mythtv/...... rather than $HOME.

Which is intended.

Everything related to XMLTV should be relative to user mythtv (assuming
that's
the user the backend runs as.


> How do I run as mythtv with the mythtv environment?


My choice is to run this command AND put it in my .bashrc file:

alias mfdbrun='sudo --set-home --user=mythtv mythfilldatabase
--verbose=system,xmltv'

Then I just type mfdbrun from my user's command line. Note that my mythtv
user can log
in, which some folks don't like and isn't the norm.

Can't speak to that one.

Use:
sudo -H -u mythtv tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure --config-file $HOME/.mythtv/Noth.xmltv

-H or --set-home forces the setting of the correct homedirectory.
See man sudo

Thank you for your replies

I spent a bit of time googling, and succeeded with this:

sudo runuser -l mythtv
tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure --config-file $HOME/.mythtv/North.xmltv
tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure --config-file $HOME/.mythtv/NorthWest.xmltv
tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure --config-file $HOME/.mythtv/NorthWest\ ATSC3.xmltv
tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure --config-file $HOME/.mythtv/South.xmltv
exit

This opens a shell as the user mythTV that lets me run the configure operation.

The only drawback is that the arrow keys don't work in this shell, so you can't use the history, or edit functions in this
shell. A bit tedious using copy & paste, but it did finally work.
