If you move, or are having trouble getting the initial listing, I suggest: rm -fr /home/mythtv/.mythtv/*.xmltv rm -fr /home/mythtv/.mythtv/channels Run mythtv-setup Answer yes to removing program info.... Perform steps 3 and 4. Then as root /etc/cron.daily/mythtv-backend |

Post subject: | Replacement for tv_grab_uk / tv_grab_uk_rt |
Hi, If you're in the UK, try this as an alternative, and VERY FAST tv guide update for myth in the UK. It uses Andrew Flegg's epg site (www.bleb.org), and guess what, he makes a pre-cut XMLTV format guide for download, so no web-site scraping needed! No nice menus etc, and BBC3, BBC4 are missing if you're a DVB viewer, but hey, who watches them anyway! (I run this on a cron, it's a scrappy shell script., but it works, if you can do better, then post it, it is a thousand times faster than tv_grab_uk_rt which is all we uk folks have at present. - takes 10 seconds max to update 5 days listings, with full epg info too.) See www.bleb.org/tv/data/listings for how to change the wget below to grab the channels you want. Andrew, if you're reading this thanks. #!/bin/sh echo "-Remove old data.xml file if it exists..." rm /tmp/data.xml >nul echo "-Download updated listings from www.bleb.org..." wget -q -O /tmp/tvdata.zip "http://www.bleb.org/tv/data/listings?days=0..6&format=xmltv&channels=bbc1,bbc2,itv1,itv2,ftn,ch4,five&file=zip" >nul echo "-Uncompress.." cd /tmp unzip /tmp/tvdata.zip >nul echo "-Update MythTV.." mythfilldatabase --file 1 -1 /tmp/data.xml >nul As always back up your mythconverg db before trying this, it worked for me, but YMMV. Mart. |

Probably a noob question, but...how did you sort this? |
