[16:30:14] Chris42: Hi. can anyone help me understand why there is no metadata sources for MythGame?

[16:59:51] mack: Chris42: I don't use it, but looking at the mythgame wiki page, the last line says it scrapes data from http://www.giantbomb.com/. That site is giving me a 502 error. You could verify that's a problem by checking your logs when you press M and Retrieve Datails like that wiki suggests. Or try running the script manually.
[17:01:25] Chris42: yeah, the problem is rather that i cannot select the grabber in the settings page. the grabber for game is blank there. tried to edit manually in DB to add it but still nothing
[17:02:10] Chris42: i.e: the problem is not that the grabber doesnt work. mythtv just does not seem to see it at all. even though its there in the directory
[17:03:16] mack: the log when you start mythgame might give you some clues
[17:03:37] Chris42: seems even more confusing since the release notes for v.32 says it should have been updated to new metadata format
[17:04:06] Chris42: yeah, the log says what you might expect: it try to run the scraper but since there is no command it doesnt work
[17:04:38] Chris42: looks to me that if I can just get myth to understand there IS a script there it might work
[17:06:05] Chris42: the website itself is working fine for me btw
[17:06:26] mack: I should have said "sometimes giving me 502"
[17:08:14] mack: two ideas: 1) are you sure that blank needs a scraper listed? Blank sometimes means use the default. 2) +x permission on the script.
[17:09:32] Chris42: 1: yes, most likly since the log says its trying to run the script with parameters but no command: like "-p -s Braid"
[17:09:51] Chris42: 2: yes the script is +x
[17:10:13] mack: and what happens when you try to run the script manually?
[17:10:48] mack: usage examples are in the script
[17:11:15] Chris42: that i havent tried yet. will do now
[17:12:55] mack: also, it's common for api keys in the wild like that to be abused.
[17:16:18] mack: also API calls are rate limited to 1 per 1 second. There's no way that's being checked unless you're the only user of the mythtv api key, lol.
[17:18:57] Chris42: ok, there was a symlink problem on my machine "python" was not there. after linking it to python3 the script work fine running manually
[17:20:57] mack: yay!

[17:21:38] Chris42: and that was actually the whole problem! now it also works grabbing metadata inside myth. awesome
[17:22:23] Chris42: now just to figure out how to scan everything at once instead of one title :)
[17:23:09] Chris42: thanks for the feedback. probably hadn't thought to run the script manually. didn't even know they worked standalone
[17:23:36] mack: reading further on the API rate limiting thread on their site says it's not a hard 1 per second limit, but strongly discouraged and rate will be throttled.
[17:24:10] Chris42: ok, maybe its best to grab manually then
[17:25:33] mack: since myth's API key is in plain view for the world to see, I'm surprised it's still working, lol.
[17:25:48] Chris42: thanks again. its a small thing, but it has been annoying me for a long time not having metadata. i actually use myth as a game console as well as media center
[17:26:22] mack: (if you use it often, it's possible to request your own key, and just change the key string in the script to your private one)
