[mythtvnz] Issue with tv_grabnz-py. Have workaround but not resolved.

[Brett Davidson]

G'day.

Installed MythTV via Mythbuntu 10.10.
All good. (I can watch TV that is, if I configure the input channels manually within myth-backend).

Downloaded the tv_grab_nz-py file, made it executable and tried to create a new input source using this.

Video source name: Freeview
Listings grabber: New Zealand (py) (xmltv)

On main mythtv backend screen when running configure I get :
Initialising cookies: ######################################
Getting list of channels from DSTVB site:no channels could be found a
*** Exited with status: 255 ***

On Terminal that started mythtv backend get:
2011-04-05 15:06:04.454 XMLTVFindGrabbers: Running tv_find_grabbers baseline
2011-04-05 15:06:09.991 XMLTVFindGrabbers: Finished running tv_find_grabbers

If I scan for channels manually within each "Input Connection" -> "Fetch channels from listing source" then nothing happens. 

If I scan for channels manually within each "Input Connection" -> "Scan channels" then get working TV channels! Yaay!

Problem is that this is not getting the grabber working.

If I run grabber from command line with no options then I get what appears to be valid xml of the channel listings.

A correct listings file is created in ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_nz-py.conf so is mythtv config not specifiying the .mythtv path?

Copying this file to ~/.mythtv/Freeview.xmltv makes everything work. (Well mythfilldatabase asks me some good questions anyway).

Is everything going to be OK from now on or is there anything I can/should run to ensure I have the system setup correctly?

Cheers,
Brat.
