[PLUG] Myth Issue: Video Source Setup - Retrieve Lineups fails with SchedulesDirect

[Dick Steffens]

I'm running Mythbuntu 12.04 on a Jetway ION-TOP. Intel Atom CPU D525 @ 
1.80GHz, 64 bit, 4GB ram.

When setting up MythTV there is a backend program that takes care of 
recording TV signals from some signal source. In my case I'm using an 
HDHomeRun Prime as the signal source. To know what programs are 
available one uses a service. The one I use is SchedulesDirect. I know 
the signals are there to be had because I can tune to a channel with an 
HDHomeRun Prime utility and watch them with VLC Media Player. I know the 
data can be collected from SchedulesDirect because it works on a windows 
program called WiRNS that I have running in a virtual machine to provide 
that information to my ReplayTV -- an "old" DVR that works with NTSC, 
but not with ATSC.

I'm trying to create a "video source" in the MythTV backend for my 
HDHomeRun Prime. When I get to the step "Retrieve Lineups" I see a 
progress bar that always shows 50%. When it goes away there is nothing 
in the Data Direct lineup drop down box. This box should show a list of 
what lineups I have created at SchedulesDirect.

I've Googled this and have found numerous related discussions that never 
actually solve the problem.

What log should I look in to see what's going on in the "Retrieve 
Lineups" step so I can try to figure out why the backend setup program 
can't connect to SchedulesDirect? I'm assuming that's where the problem 
lies. I can log in to SchedulesDirect, plus I have it working with WiRNS 
on my old ReplyTV, so I don't think the problem is on the 
SchedulesDirect end.

Is there some kind of timeout that's adjustable? (I'm just guessing that 
the backend program isn't waiting long enough to make the connection.)
