Description Steve Wallace 2021-03-20 12:32:20 CET

Description of problem:
A full description is in the URL of the need to change 'mythfrontend'

Changes were made to the 'mythfrontend' component of 'MythTV' to cater for changes to the TV programme metadata lookup shortly after the current mythTV package was built.

 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

 Summary     : Client component of mythtv (a PVR)

mythfrontend program version information that has the issue
stv_t Mercury 1052> mythfrontend --version
 MythTV Version : 31.0-20210112.1.1.mga8 (aka v31.0-130-g016630)
 MythTV Branch : fixes/31.0
 Network Protocol : 91

I believe that the mythfrontend version should be dated on or after 26-Feb-2021 to include the changes required. 
The Mageia MythTV package is based on v31.0.130, I have a later version of MythTV-light installed on a Pi4 which works correctly and is based on MythTV v.31.0.138 

pi@MythPI:/usr/bin $ mythfrontend --version
 MythTV Version : v31.0-138-g525e3b0bb4
 MythTV Branch : fixes/31
 Network Protocol : 91


How reproducable:
Every time 

This will result in metadata for TV programs not being retrieved

Comment 1 Aurelien Oudelet 2021-03-20 12:58:22 CET

Hi, thanks reporting this.

As this is an upstream change that broke the current shipped MythTv version from Mageia, I agree we should update it.

Assigning to maintainer.

I believe Mageia 7 also affected.

Please test mythtv-31.0-20210323.1.1.mga8 in Core/Updates_testing and Tainted/Updates_testing repo!

Comment 3 Steve Wallace 2021-03-24 11:20:31 CET

Created attachment 12495 [details]
Screenshot of metadata sources

I have tested the updated mythtv packages and Movie and TV data sources are now showing correctly.
I do not have any games installed so did not expect to see an entry for 'Games'

Comment 4 David GEIGER 2021-03-24 19:22:18 CET

Assigning to QA now,


Advisory:
========================

Since March 2021 the MythTV metadata lookup changed:

 MythTV metadata lookup uses thetvdb.com as source for TV show information and artwork. TheTVDB is changing their business model to require a subscription payment to use the API. The existing API will be shut down around March 2021.

MythTV fixes/31 and master (v32-Pre) have been updated to support two new sources. For metadata lookups on TV shows to continue working, you need to upgrade your system. To be able to make the new selection, both backend and frontend must be upgraded (if you use separate machines for backend and frontend).

Comment 5 Thomas Andrews 2021-03-28 22:18:44 CEST

Using the reporter's comment 3 for a test of at least basic functionality. Testing for a clean install...

Installed MythTV (non-tainted) and dependencies (92 packages) in a vbox M8 guest. Used qarepo with tainted disabled to download the non-tainted updates;

The following 18 packages are going to be installed:

- lib64myth31-31.0-20210323.1.1.mga8.x86_64

No installation issues. Re-activated tainted in drakrpm and qarepo, and downloaded the tainted packages, as if a user were going to upgrade from non-tainted to tainted:
