Unable to setup for mythtv v0.28

[bennettpeter]

I am running Ubuntu xenial and mythtv v0.28, Following your installation instructions.

Packages php-5 do not exist, so I had to use php-7.0

sudo apt-get install git php7.0-cli php7.0-mysql php7.0-curl curl

Running ./sd-utility.php for the first time fails trying to read .mythtv/config.xml (the file does exist)

./sd-utility.php

Using production server.
Using timezone UTC
sd-utility.php utility program API:20141201 v0.28/2015-12-04
Using database information from ~/.mythtv/config.xml
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function simplexml_load_file() in /srv/storage/homexenial/peter/proj/github.com/SchedulesDirect/mfdb-json/functions.php:537
Stack trace:

#1 {main}

thrown in /srv/storage/homexenial/peter/proj/github.com/SchedulesDirect/mfdb-json/functions.php on line 537

If I put the actual database info into the command line I get another error.

./sd-utility.php --dbname=mythdbp28 --dbuser=mythp28 --dbpassword=mythtv

Connecting to Schedules Direct database.
Got error connecting to database.
Code: 42S02
Message: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'schedulesdirect.settings' doesn't exist

I checked that the sd@localhost user id with password is able to connect to mysql, as was set up in the sd.sql

For Mythbuntu/Ubuntu 16.04 the PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function simplexml_load_file() error is resolved by sudo apt-get install php7.0-xml

Still getting the second error
Got error connecting to database.

I recommend the Schedules Direct XMLTV grabbers instead. That is what I am using now. See https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/XMLTV#Schedules_Direct_Setup

I have a test system setup, so I thought I would just give the mfdb-json
grabber a try.

Have been using tv_grab_sd_json since May 2016 on my "production" mythtv
system.
