Run mythfrontend as: '/usr/bin/mythfrontend --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log' Ensure that /var/log/mythtv is writable as the user launching mythfrontend. You'll probably discover, as I did, that my /VideoPosters volume was not writable as the user running mythfrontend. Once I corrected the permissions problem, my poster problem went away.

Re: [mythtv-users] Not downloading movie posters
I had that issue too. there is a new perl script out that will fix that. on your settings for video, you will see a setting that calls to your imdb.pl file. I believe I found the few one on this forum somewhere. once found, backup/replace the old one and make sure the settings name matches the new file name. if you can't find it, let me know and I'll post mine up. -EA On 6/2/05, Nate Thompson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 6/1/05, Mark Read <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm currently running version 0.18.1 of MythTV and am unable to download > > movie posters for MythVideo.

Re: [mythtv-users] Not downloading movie posters
Hi, I'm currently running version 0.18.1 of MythTV and am unable to download movie posters for MythVideo. When using the Search IMDB option within Video Manager it successfully identifies the correct entry and downloads the metadata. Am I correct in assuming that it should also at this point download the cover art as well? If I run imdb.pl -P manually from the shell giving the IMDB id as a parameter it successfully returns the url of the image at ipmawards, and when browsed to manually that image does exist. The directory specified within Videos/General settings does exist and the user MythTV is run as does have write access. The command specified to search for movie posters remains unchanged from the default and appears correct. Any ideas? Am I missing something blatantly obvious? If it's a remote frontend it may be trying to save it to a directory that you don't have mirrored via NFS. I had to change the directory that holds posters to something that the frontend could see ie. I save my videos in /video and my posters in /video/posters. Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm afraid the frontend and backend are on the same machine. My videos are in /var/mythtv/video and attempting to have posters stored in /var/mythtv/posters. _ Find just what you are after with the more precise, more powerful new MSN Search. http://search.msn.com.sg/ Try it now. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
