mythtv-setup wrapper script calls mythfilldatabase without the configured arguments

[matlo]

When I quit mythtv-setup, it asks me wether or not to run mythfilldatabase.

If I choose to run mythfilldatabase, it is run without the arguments configured in mythtv-setup.

[matlo (mat-lau)]

Fix: get the arguments from the database and add them in the mythfilldatabase command.

Assigning to superm1 since he has access to packaging

In general the idea of this patch sounds good, but we should not be reading in mysql.txt. Instead should be reading in config.xml.

We really do appreciate you opening this ticket to help improve Mythbuntu, but it needs to be closed for a number of reasons. The biggest one is that upstream has moved on to a new version and believes this to be fixed. Could you please verify if this issue still exists in the latest version?

Please do not let the closing of this ticket dissuade you from opening a new ticket if this (or any other) problem occurs with the newer versions.

[matlo (mat-lau)]

It still occurs in newer versions (trusty, utopic, vivid).

[Thomas Mashos (tgm4883)]

@mat-lau are you able to fix your patch to use config.xml instead of mysql.txt? mysql.txt has been deprecated for years.

Hi,
I made a new patch that I tested in a Ubuntu 14.04 derivate distribution (Linux Mint 17.3).
It requires adding a dependency on libxml-simple-perl to mythtv-backend.

[Thomas Mashos (tgm4883)]

Thanks @mat-lau I've just applied this to our 0.28 packaging.

[Thomas Mashos (tgm4883)]

I've merged this to the 0.27 packaging and it should be in the next build.
