Title:
  XML tv listings grabber: misleading error message

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The error logs told me that I had to run the following command:

       mythfilldatabase --manual

  I ran this from a terminal, and it reported an error message along the
  following lines:

      [xmltv config file] does not contain any listings; delete [file]
  and re-run me with the --configure option

  
  The cause of the error was that the tv_grab script needed to be run again. I cleared it with tv_grab_uk_rt --configure. Unfortunately, this wiped out my terminal scrollback so I don't have the exact error message - but it definitely used the terms "me" and "--configure".

  The error message given implies that the user should re-run the same
  command as they previously ran, i.e. mythfilldatabase --configure or
  mythfilldatabase --manual --configure. It gives no indication of the
  correct command to run.

  ( Suggested resolution: It would be much better if the error message
  contained the exact command to run (i.e. using $0 or similar). Ideally
  it could even re-launch itself if needed).
