I have been doing some further playing with the automated EPG update in
MythTV backend set up.
If I set the time for mythfilldatabase to run,it runs and I get a failed
message on the status page.
" xmltv returned error code 2"
I can't find what error code 2 is.
If I run mythfilldatabase any other way i.e. manually, it updates ok.
Here is the mythfilldatabase log:
