Description
cache_file.py:243:_init_cache:TMDBCacheDirectoryError: Directory containing cache file does not exist: /var/lib/mythtv/.mythtv/pytmdb3.cache.
Unsure why it's looking for a .mythtv directory here, should I just add one for it or is a bug?

Thanks for the reply.
Given the trend to moving services such as mythbackend to user IDs of their own, is there a configuration option to change this location to somewhere more suitable? Seems a waste to create .mythtv folder here for this one python script.

Many different parts of MythTV use ${HOME}/.mythtv/ as scratch space. The file that identifies the database location is there. The theme cache is there. If /var/lib/mythtv/ is your home directory, and you are running MythTV, /var/lib/mythtv/.mythtv/ should already exist. That is, unless you have defined both ${MYTHCONFDIR} and ${HOME} to the same /var/lib/mythtv/, which means MythTV is now dirtying up your home directory, in which case a recent patch committed to tmdb3.py will make it use the ${MYTHCONFDIR} variable in the same manner.
tmdb3.py assumes that you will have read/write access to your own home directory, and your home directory is apparently set to /var/lib/mythtv/. If it cannot open a cache file there, this is a user configuration error. Please take this up on the mailing list, IRC channel, or forum.
