Hi All,

This continues on from the old thread.

I have updated mythvideo-scanner to support Mythtv 0.24, namely the new location and format of the grabber scripts. If you are running old mythtv and want to use the new script, put them in the location defined for mythtv 0.24 (i.e. in /usr/share/mythtv/metadata)

I have also fixed the IMDB grabber. Everything else is the same.

If you are a new comer, the release is available here.
INSTALL

Keep the source as it eases the update process.
UPGRADE

Link to download and install Text::Levenshtein

Testing it out now on my system - love your work dude!

I have an old version of the script in /usr/local/src. I want to update to the latest version of the script. Can anyone tell me how I would do that? Do I need to uninstall anything or make new directories etc.

I am running R6.04
Thanks.

if you still have the source, you can go 'make update' followed by 'make install'. If you don't have the source, then you need to download it first then make update, make install.

You don't need to uninstall anything first.

Many thanks BigB. I tried the "make upgrade" command but I got the following error msg:


My system is up to date via Pacman. I am on 6.4.

Also, I am not sure what you mean by source. I have one folder called mythvideo-scanner which contains 2 sub-folders: grabbers & modules as well as some files. Is this folder the source?

I "fixed" that by linking the desired libd to the one installed:

This worked for me. I have no idea if it breaks something, though...

Thanks hellig.

I I have the script working and it is fantastic. The only problem I have is that I cannot get a specific path to work. I have to update, reparse or some other option for all the files in the DB.

I have installed mvs in its directory in /usr/share/mythtv/metadata. I am running R6.04

The files are contained on an NAS (nas-video) to which the combined FE/BE connects. The file structure of the FE/BE shows /nas-video in the root structure.

When MVS is running in the terminal it shows the script is using the path /myth/video/nas-video/folder1/subfolder/title.avi

If I cd to /usr/share/mythtv/metadata/mythvideo-scanner and then enter ./mythvideo-scanner.pl --update /myth/video/nas-video/folder/subfolder I get a message that specified scripts cannot be found. Incidentally it doesn't seem to make a difference whether I use ./ or not. I have also tried the path /nas-video/folder1/subfolder without success.

If I enter ./mythvideo-scanner.pl --update with no path the script runs with no problem.

I must be doing something wrong with the path variable but I cannot work out what.

Hi,

Can you paste the output of "mythvideo-scanner.pl --status", and the output of ONE of your failing attempts please.

NOTES:
--update is to update all existing entries in the database not just the new ones.

BigB.

BigB, output of mythvideo-scanner.pl --status:



One failed attempt:


I appreciate your assistance and your great script.

Hi,

Notice how the last line doesn't look correct, you need to add quotes around the path, or escape the spaces with a '\'
e.g.

or


You can ignore the two errors about can't find script, these are old grabbers for mythtv 0.23 and older.

Hope this helps.

Many thanks BigB, the quotes made all the difference.
