For the last 3 days my tv guide has failed to update. I tried running it manually today and as each channel tried to update it just came back with "no results found in html". any ideas? |

Apparently, this has been fixed in xmltv CVS (link to mythtv mailing list) Quote: In case you did not know the radio times site has recently been purposefully blocking grab attempts from xmltv. The nice chaps at the bbc have been in contact and an arrangement has been found to allow faster more accurate grabbing of data (with desctiptions and categories) and hence a new tv_grab_uk_rt has been commited to xmltv cvs.

Can anyone help me on how to make use of the updated tv_grab_uk_rt from CVS ? Previously I have always updated xmltv using apt-get, but this doesn't work yet for the new grabber. Rgds, Pete |

Good news everybody, RadioTimes were just pissed at the bandwidth, they have added a new data only feed that the new tv_grab_uk_rt uses. Here's how to enjoy those listings again. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=39046 lists the releases 0.5.35 has the update in it. Download it to the box then Code: tar -xvjf xmltv-0.5.35.tar.bz2 cd xmltv-0.5.35 Next we need some more perl modules for this so Code: perl -MCPAN -eshell If you haven't used CSPAN with perl before it will ask lots of questions fortunatly the defaults for all but location are correct and so just go with them. Then at the cspan prompt: Code: cspan> install XML::Writer cspan> install Lingua::EN::Numbers cspan> install Lingua::Preferred cspan> install Term::ProgressBar #yes to get the dependant modules cspan> install Unicode::String Now we can build and install xmltv Code: perl Makefile.PL
make make test su make install It will use your existing config files and go and get the listtings when mythfilldatabase is next run, if you can't wait use mythfilldatabase --help to find the options and just get todays to see it work, rather than us all download everything in the evening when they probably get most traffic. |

Hi all - thanks for the info, but I am still having a problem. I installed 0.5.35 as outlined, and in short it seemed to have worked (i.e. everything seemed to complete without errors). However now i have the following problem: Starting from a new install with no channel info (long story, but I had to rebuild the kernel to get rid of the local APIC problem with nVidia which was causing hangs, and seems to have worked, and which I will post as soon as I get it working, anyway), I run mythtv-setup. I then go into 'Video sources', then I go over to the terminal window to add the channels. The progress bar for 'finding channels' shows 100%, and I am then prompted to enter a channel name, just like the old version. So far so good. I enter a channel name, for example 'e4'. Now here it's different. I used to get a list of several channels with ordinal numbers attached to each one, then the question 'Which channel to add?'. NOW, I get no list of channels, but still get the question. No matter what I enter (even 0, which should have something attached to it) I get the following message: Died at /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt line 257, <STDIN> line 3. 2004-09-29 22:30:44 tv_grab_uk_rt --config_file '/root/.mythtv/SkyDigital.xmltv' --configure 2004-09-29 22:30:44 exited with status 2304 Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks very much in advance. |

Yea, I've had a look and it seems that channel selection doesn't work. We can cheat this though as the config file is very simple. It contains a list of URIs. I've put up a page with a long list of the ones used in sky on the wiki at: http://knoppmythwiki.homelinux.org/inde ... SkyDigiBox just remove the channels you don't want. |
