Grab returned no data

Fredrik Lidén

Hello,

I've got a strange problem since i updated tvheadend to 3.2 beta, i can't get xmltv to work.

Oct 10 11:44:02 xmltv: external socket enabled
Oct 10 11:44:02 /usr/bin/tv_grab_se_swedb: grab /usr/bin/tv_grab_se_swedb
Oct 10 11:44:02 epgdb: loaded v2

Oct 10 11:44:02 epgdb: episodes 1089
Oct 10 11:44:02 epgdb: broadcasts 1089
Oct 10 11:44:03 pyepg: no output detected
Oct 10 11:44:03 /usr/bin/tv_grab_se_swedb: grab returned no data

Oct 10 11:44:03 /usr/bin/tv_grab_se_swedb: grab /usr/bin/tv_grab_se_swedb

I have done tv_grab_se_swedb --configure but it regret to work anyway, is there any one else with the same problem, or any one with a solution?

Best regards

This almost always means that the configuration has not been done properly. Try switching to the user that TVH runs as (hts?) and running the tv_grab* script manually and see what happens.

Thanks for the advice but i am not able to login isa as hts, i've tried su hts but i dont now the password for that user..

Adam Sutton

Try:

sudo su - hts

assuming you have sudo access

Onte step to the right direction, now to problem #2

xbmc@xbmc:~$ sudo su - hts
hts@xbmc:~$ /usr/bin/tv_grab_se_swedb --configure
cannot mkdir /home/hts/.xmltv: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl5/XMLTV/Config_file.pm line 24.
hts@xbmc:~$ sudo /usr/bin/tv_grab_se_swedb --configure
[sudo] password for hts:<dunno>

It looks to me like you've done something wrong and run the xmltv configuration before as root or something like that.

Try:
sudo rm -rf ~hts/.xmltv
sudo su - hts

/usr/bin/tv_grab_se_swedb --configure

I just ran it like sudo /usr/bin/tv_grab_se_swedb --configure before, nothing else

i've still got the same error.

Adam Sutton

Please try what I suggested. You're running the configure as root that will definitely not work.

Adam

Fredrik Lidén

Yeah i did that without success. Still the same error..

Adam Sutton

If you can come along to the IRC channel #hts it will be easier to offer advice as we can try things in real-time rather than ping-pong'ing on here.

I have the same issue.
When I log into the hts user that is fine.

But when I try to do sudo it asks for the password.

What is the hts users password????

Thanks
