| Post subject: | R5E0 How to rerun channel icon setup |
Hi running a backend, with slave backend and several frontends. I have two zap2itlineups atsc and directv. During setup somehow I must have selected doing channel icons for the local directv channels only. Right now I have no Channel icons for my HDTV OTA Channels or the DirecTV non locals. I searched but I cannot seem to figure out how to rerun the channel icon setup script. Back in the day it was mkiconmap.pl then I think it changed to channel grab north america. Just not sure what it is now. The only other dumb question is if I run it in on the backend do I need to run it on all the frontends as well? |

May be an easier way, but... Code: /usr/bin/mkiconmap.pl then Code: mythfilldatabase --import-icon-map iconmap.xml --update-icon-map

Doing a search I found this link from a post here. For anyone else who was trying to get this to work, there is a fix. Mythtv's mkiconmap.pl script actually calls XMLTV's tv_grab_na_icons. It was actually this script that was using the old web-page's format, not mkiconmap.pl. The developers for XMLTV have quickly fixed this code to reflect the changes on zap2it's website. (Thanks!) So to fix this, you have to download the new code found here: URL:http://snapshot.xmltv.org For those who have installed mythtv from packages, you'll need to do a few things first. Before you can do anything with this, perl will need some modules to get this compiled correctly (XML::Writer and XML::Twig, if you don't already have them installed). For those who would like to use Perl's CPAN, run this: # perl -MCPAN -eshell (go through the questions if it's the first time you are running this. If you're not sure what answers to provide, go with the defaults) Once you get through all the questions, you should see a cpan> prompt. Next, cpan> install XML::Writer cpan> install XML::Twig cpan> quit Now go ahead and untar/uncompress the file downloaded above and run: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Now you can run the mkiconmap.pl script and then import it into the database. (sample below) $ mkiconmap.pl --grab --share=/tmp --out=iconmap.xml $ mythfilldatabase --import-icon-map iconmap.xml -update-icon-map Works like a charm. Thanks All!!! Is this all necessary now? I thought this was fixed. It did pull down some local channel icons so I am not sure this is all necessary. Has to be an easier way. I mean if you need to rerun other scripts its pretty simple. ie lirc or netcardconfig etc.. |

Bumping this. Kinda of annoying looking at the guide without the channel icons. I saw on the main mythtv mailing list an update for svn but I am sure it worked when I ran the initial setup for RE50. Can someone please tell me if channel icon setup is working properly right now? |
