Hey Guys,

how can I add a commando to autostart in Archlinux eg. LinHES?

Because in Germany we don`t have a good EPG Grabber, I use the broadcasted Analog one.

I grab that via Nextview. For that I use the command:


(This would be great to add to autostart but I dont understand the mechanism in Archlinux.)
I set the capturing to passive and the starting channel to the on that sends the epg data.
Than I start nxtvepg from time to time and export the current status as an xml file.
(Is it possible to do that also from the commandline?)
And that I run


Well that works but has to be done by hand...

Do you have an Idea how I can automate this process?

In this Link the most things are explained, but not how to get this into cron?!?

Thanks!

OK, this means its not possible to autostart a commandline program in linhes

Check out "man 1 crontab" and "man 5 crontab".

Basically, you want to do a crontab -e (edit crontab) as the user that needs to run the command and add a line like:

05 9 * * * /myth/bin/nightly-cron.pl

This will run nightly-cron.pl every morning at 09:05.

I haven't used nxtvepgd in years... You might want to switch to DVB. The EPG for digital works out-of-the-box with mythtv. Whether you use satellite or cable, the selection of unencrypted digital channels should be the same or better than the analog ones. Just make sure you get a DVB card that works in linux....

OK Thanks I'll check that.

is ther also an option to run a script just at startup?

i wanna use the analog stuff because the privat dvb-c channels in germany are encrypted and i wont pay for watching ads o i use the analog cards for these channels.
i have a working dvb-c hdtv card but only for the free to air channels.

To run at startup put it in /etc/runit/1.local or ~/.fluxbox/apps.

Note that you can't record or watch liveTV when the nxtvepg is running. If I remember correctly, it takes about 10 mins to do the scan, that is why I didn't run it at startup.

I'm surprised you have unencrypted analog cable channels that are encrypted in digital. It wasn't like that when I had cable a couple of years ago.... I guess it has changed.

Normally thats right, but I set up the nextview config, that it passively collects the epg information.

so it collects as along as i dont switch to another channel.
and cause i have two pvr cards this doesnt happen often.



Yeah, that changed and is a pitty. But thats the way it works if US Investors take over the german cable net. they want the people to get to "pay per view". hopefully this doesnt work

Is it run by mzthtv if I use this location or do i have to add something - so mythtv is the owner?

Put it in ~/.fluxbox/apps if you want it to be run by mythtv.

Well that doesn't really work.

I tried to write the commandline in there


but that didn't start the programm - so i wrote a script with the command in there and wrote on the fluxbox app file only


that also did not work.
how do I have to put it in there?

In ~/.fluxbox/apps the line needs to be something like:
