[gentoo-user] mythfilldatabase not running
I've got a MythTv backend set up that's working great except for one thing: mythfilldatabase isn't getting run every day. If I run it manually, it works fine. The schedule database gets filled, and the system status page on MythWeb shows that it was run and that it's scheduled to run again the next day. But, unless I run it manually, it never runs. I've grepped through the backend log for fill and found nothing. I thought that the backend would run mythfilldatabase (I swear that's how it always worked on my KnoppMyth boxes), but it doesn't seem to be the case. Are you supposed to set up a cron job to run mythfilldatabase? -- Grant

[1] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1063978 [2] www.schedulesdirect.com HTH -- Eric Thanks for your answer. I don'αΊ— think the ubuntu solution apply, since mythfilldatabase is concerned with the line: 348 my $doc = $xml-parse_string($xmldata); I'm using mythtv-0.21_p19961-r2 and xmltv 0.5.50 and i don't understand if the problem lies within mythtvs mythfilldatabase or in xmltv. I have rebuilt all dependencies. Downgraded xmltv and mythtv with the same results. It worked june 15, since then i gave ubuntu a try since nuvexport and ffmpeg does not work in gentoo, it didn't in ubuntu either (mythfilldatabase worked thou), reinstalled gentoo, and now i have this problem. Regards Martin
