You should be running mythicalLibrarian as the same user who runs mythtv. I will see about adding a note on that at the start of mythicalSetup.

Good to know. MythTV runs under the mythtv user, as does mythicalLibrarian, but generally when I update/setup mythicalLibrarian, I do it as my own user.

mythicalLibrarian hasn't been working for me today.

I had a poke around today and it was the communication with thetvdb.com that was failing as it was getting back a 301 redirect when trying to get the series information:

Code:
curl -s -m50 'www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=mister%20rogers'
<html>
<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx</center>
</body>
</html>

curl can follow 301 redirects if you add -L to it's command line. I've added -L to all the curl calls to thetvdb.com api and all appears to be working well again now.

Not sure if anybody else is seeing this problem, but hopefully helps somebody.

I just finished transcoding all of my recordings to remove the commercials. I ran the --scan and most everything was added to showings.

Maybe the same issue mellowpellow had?

I had a related issue to mellowpellow and divingmule - when running mythicalLibrarian --update, all the install checks show "pass" until the test of Mr. Rogers at the end; it fails to find the episode information and throws an error. Must have been a change at thetvdb's end?

/gkk

GregoryK/divingmule:

Yeah that sounds like exactly what I was seeing, everything was ending up in Showings as the mythicalLibrarian script couldn't fetch the series/episode information. As you said looks like something changed at the thetvdb.com.

A couple of caveats about my changes below:
  1. The line numbers will probably only be correct if you are using the same version as me - I'm using the latest version (r937)
  2. Make a backup if you are going to change your script


If you're not used to editing shell scripts wait until it's fixed properly by by outleradam.

To fix it I edited my /usr/local/bin/mythicalLibrarian script and changed:

line 849, from:
Code:
    curl -s -m"$Timeout" "http://www.thetvdb.com/api/Updates.php?type=none">"$mythicalLibrarian/$NewShowName/current.time"
to
Code:
    curl -s -L -m"$Timeout" "http://www.thetvdb.com/api/Updates.php?type=none">"$mythicalLibrarian/$NewShowName/current.time"

line 879, from:

        curl -s -m"$Timeout" " http://www.thetvdb.com/api/Updates.php?type=all&time=$LastUpdated" >> "$mythicalLibrarian/$NewShowName/UpdatesList.txt"

Code:
        curl -s -L -m"$Timeout" " http://www.thetvdb.com/api/Updates.php?type=all&time=$LastUpdated" >> "$mythicalLibrarian/$NewShowName/UpdatesList.txt"

line 903, from:

to
Code:
        curl -s -L -m"$Timeout" "http://www.thetvdb.com/api/$APIkey/series/$SeriesID/all/$Language.xml"| grep -vE "(</id>|</Combined_episodenumber>|</Combined_season>|</DVD_chapter>|</DVD_discid>|</DVD_episodenumber>|</DVD_season>|</Director>|</EpImgFlag>|</GuestStars>|</IMDB_ID>|</Language>|</Overview>|</ProductionCode>|</RatingCount>|</filename>|</seasonid>|</Writer>|</Rating>|</lastupdated>|</seriesid>|</absolute_number>)">"$mythicalLibrarian/$NewShowName/$NewShowName.xmlTest" && echo "$CurrentTime" > "$mythicalLibrarian/$NewShowName/lastupdated.time"

line 1182, from:
Code:
    curl -s -m"$Timeout" www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=$tvdbshowname>"$mythicalLibrarian/working.xml"
to
Code:
    curl -s -L -m"$Timeout" www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=$tvdbshowname>"$mythicalLibrarian/working.xml"

Basically anywhere that curl is used to access http://www.thetvdb.com/api you need to add -L to the command line arguments.

I too receive the same error. Just started using mythicalLibrarian this weekend.
