Hello, In MythTV 0.22 (at least the port to FreeBSD), the user 'mythtv' has '/nonexistent' as its home directory. This is good for security. But mythfilldatabase (or the grabbers it uses) usually fetch the config file from $HOME/.mythtv/<input>.xmltv. If you set up MythTV to automatically run mythfilldatabase, it runs it as the 'mythtv' user. Since that user doesn't have a home directory anymore, mythfilldatabase fails. How is this supposed to work in MythTV 0.22? -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
