The Me TV database version does not match the Me TV server version

[Friedrich Kupfer]

When Me-TV starts, this message appears: Failed to communicate with Me TV server. Would you like the Me TV client to attempt to start it? After clicking yes nothing happens and I get this message in Terminal:
Me TV 2.0.1
2011-11-04 22:19:40: Me TV Server started
2011-11-04 22:19:40: An unhandled exception was generated
2011-11-04 22:19:40: Error: The Me TV database version does not match the Me TV server version.

Hi Friedrich,

You probably upgrade from an older version so you have to manually delete
the old database. I know it's in your home directory and hidden something
like /home/yourusername/.me-tv . I'll check when I get home and get back to
you.

Cheers,
Frédéric Côté

Thanks for the reply.
I did this before. Deleted the me-tv2.db in home/.local/share/me-tv. After a new start, is creates a new database and ends only with the communication failure. After a second start the complete message like above appears.

I have the same problem using Me TV 1.4 from bzr:

I deleted the database in ~/.local/share/me-tv and started "me-tv-client".
A popup says "Failed to communicate with Me TV server. Would you like the Me TV client to attempt to start it?
After clicking "OK" Me TV creates a database file but ends with the error message "Exception: Failed to communicate with Me TV server" in terminal.

Starting "me-tv-server" without the client works and it creates a database file. Starting the client with "me-tv-server" running results in the popup described above, followed by the following error message in terminal:
2012-01-31 09:48:06: Me TV Server 1.4.0.4 started
2012-01-31 09:48:06: An unhandled exception was generated
2012-01-31 09:48:06: Error: The Me TV database version does not match the Me TV server version.

This bug is next in my to-do list. I expect to fix it during the next few
weeks.

Cheers,

I've made some minor change in rev 1.4.0.8 (the daily build should pickup the change) regarding this issue. I would like to know if you still have this bug with this version.

Before trying it, make sure you don't have me-tv (client/server) running (ps -A | grep me-tv)
Then, delete the folder ~/.local/share/me-tv and everything in it (you can also move it somewhere else)

To help me a little, If possible, the first time you start me-tv, do it with this command: "me-tv-client -v > me-tv.log" (without quote)

If you still have this bug, send me these two files: me-tv.log (that you've created with the command bellow) and ~/.local/share/me-tv/me-tv.db
if you don't have this bug anymore, I also would like to know.

I'am not able to reproduce this behaviour at home, so I'm working blind...

Cheers, Frederic

I tried it two times, attached the log files.

Niebarst

[Niebarst (dietmar-czekay)]

the second one...

[Frédéric Côté (frederic-cote)]

Can you try it with the PPA ? and make sure you have the last version (1.4.0-0~27~oneiric1 or 1.4.0-0~27~precise1 at this time)

When you compile it yourself, you also have to do the "sudo make install" to make "me-tv-server" available in the path. When you just "make", the application is build ok but the "me-tv-client" don't have access to the bin "me-tv-server".

To remove it after a "sudo make install", you can do "sudo make uninstall" but you need the original folder from where you have compile it.

[Niebarst (dietmar-czekay)]

I tried 1.4.0-0-29. The application starts and showed the import channels.conf dialog. But I couldn't go to the next step. Clicking 'Next' does nothing.

Cheers.

[Frédéric Côté (frederic-cote)]

Your "channels.conf" (the file you created with w_scan) must be in UTF8.
You can do it with the command "iconv -t UTF-8 file.name"

This is something else I will eventually fix.

Thanks,
Frederic

I did the step with iconv but me-tv did not import any station from channels.conf

:-(

Niebarst

[Frédéric Côté (frederic-cote)]

Can you send me a log (me-tv -v) and your channels.conf ?
