Just wanted to say that I have R4V5 on my system (has been rock solid since install) and I followed a guide on the KnoppmythWiki in istalling the new XMLTV (was part of another guide) and Cecil's instructions here. i ran into an issue with not grabing a lot of channels and othe rfuncky things but it seemed to have turned out to be the SVN buidl I had. I re-downloaded the SVN (actually followe Cecil's instructions here to the "T" and not just doing an SVN Update) and it all worked out perfect!

For some of you that are having difficulty getting the instructions to work -- it's worth checking to make sure you haven't run out of inode space. I walked my brother through the procedure and we hit this snag -- he has a default file system layout on r5d1 & it looks like the /myth partition is set up to deal with enough files for this situation.

Type "df -i" and see if your inode utilization is above 75% on the /myth partition. If it is, you probably won't be able to run a build in the partition. Only suggestion I can make is to temporarily add another drive to get around the problem, but perhaps others have a better suggestion...

If you're having trouble building your own it's probably time to give up and upgrade to R5F27....

So there is no longer a Free Program guide. SD is not free. Costs $15 every 3 months.
Is this correct?

In the context of North America, the first seems to be true, else a lot of folks have been spinning their wheels for no apparent reason. The last two are readily-confirmed facts.

Not exactly. SD is not free, but the $15 is for the first 3 months, the fee after that is still not decided but will likely be less. You can see for yourself at http://www.schedulesdirect.org/faq

Yeehaw! I was hoping a new version would come out before my program data ran out. I'm all over it, thanks for the heads-up.

Color me relieved, I was about to go to MythBuntu 7.10a4. Didn't want to but I was going to have to do something to keep Myth running.

The only thing I don't know about is whether the newer nVidia drivers will run the 8300GS I have sitting around. If not I'll have to buy a 6xxx card somewhere.

OK, I followed the original post steps to check out and compile, and I'm getting a compiler error:



Googling seems to suggest that it's a problem with my version of GCC. gcc -v tells me it's 3.3.5; an apt-get install gcc tells me that it's going to have to remove 26 packages to do the update -- obviously a dependency issue. That same dependency, whatever it is, really bites me in the ass on a lot of things.


I'm not sure what KM version I used to do my last install, but it was a while ago. How do I check what version of KM I'm running?

I have an XMLTV problem after a fresh UPGRADE from R5F1 to R5F27. When I run tv_grab_na_dd --version I get > XMLTV module version 0.5.44. This is tv_grab_na_dd.in version 1.46, 2006/12/20 15:31:13. Am I wrong to assume the XMLTV version should be 0.5.48?

I then ran an upgrade :

wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sour ... 48.tar.bz2
tar xjvf xmltv-0.5.48/
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr
make
make test
su
make install

rebooted then ran version again - still shows 0.5.44...

The issue is that I am not getting all the lineups from SD. I have three set up (OTA, analog cable, and digital cable. digital cable does not work (others do)). The SD support group identified the XMLTV version as the problem.

The problem is that there are bits of the old XMLTV still hanging around, which tv_grab_na_dd is picking up instead of the new version.

Try this:

Check the version again (no need to reboot). It should show 0.5.48 as expected.

In case you're interested, the newly-installed XMLTV module lives in /usr/share/perl/5.8.8 (rather than /usr/share/perl5).

Thanks - that worked.

I can add this fix into R5F27's patcher, but I don't use XMLTV and need confirmation from at least one of you XMLTV users that this will fix it:

No reboot required, correct?

I can't test this to know with 100% certainty, but I don't see anything running on the system that would require a reboot to make XMLTV work.

I'd probably just remove XMLTV.pm and XMLTV directory from /usr/share/perl5 instead of renaming them, but I was being cautious the first time through. (I figure there is probably a better way to remove the old XMLTV, but this works.)

If someone can please test the code block I posted above, which was derived from other posts here, I can make it available to anyone who installs or upgrades to R5F27.

Human, its seems to have worked perfectly. The R5F27 version was populating properly, but I couldn't get tv_grab_na_dd to work, and so with your instructions (a) mythfilldatabase --refresh-today was successfull, and I'm able to use tv_grab_na_dd just fine.

THANKS.
