Once SD goes live (if R5Fx isn't out): 1) Get and install the latest XMLTV (0.5.48 as of this writing) from xmltv.org. 2) Get and install the latest -fixes (mythtv and plugins). 3) Signup for Schedules Direct (when it goes public). 4) Create lineup on SD site. 5) Run mythtv-setup (<alt><s> (make sure you stop the backend <alt><2>)). 6) Deleted all video sources. 7) Create lineup using SD. 8 ) Run mythfilldatabase --refresh-all (give it a moment to start grabbing the listing) 9) Bind the new SD source to your input as usual. 10) Enjoy (exit mythtv-setup, start the backend <alt><1> and start the frontend <alt><m>)! Example: Code: wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/xmltv/xmltv-0.5.48.tar.bz2 As I'm not running any version but the absolute latest, I won't be making packages for older releases. The instructions are easy to follow so building things from source should not be a biggie. You can also wait for the next release, which will include the above plus more!

Shouldn't that be <alt><m>? Mike |

NOTE: This will break MythWeather to fix: Code: #!/bin/sh Thank mjl for the script. Now, simple restart the frontend.

So as a sanity check may I ask: I have R5E50 installed, would building from source as described here work without hosing things? Thanks in advance. |

Yes, it should work. |

Would the directions work for R5D1? Marc |

Yes, it should work with D1 as well. With D1 however, you may need to upgrade the XMLTV pre-reqs. |

Cecil, thanks for the quick reply. I've already downloaded and built the new version of xmltv, but I have not yet done a "make install". Do you think installing this might cause anything in my exisitng R5D1 implementation to break? All: I've been doing some more reading, and it looks like some people are doing the migration with a strategy that looks something like this: 1. Change the settings in mythtv so that it no longer calls mythfilldatabase from within mythtv. 2. Create a script that first calls xmltv to download the guide data and then uses mythfilldatabase to load that data into the data base. 3. Attach the script to a crontab entry. The implication is that there isn't a need to drop sources, etc. Has anyone else seen threads suggesting that this will work and does anyone see any issues with using this approach for R5D1? BTW, I will be upgrading to R5F* at some point, but I also have to help my daughter, brother and nephew through their ugprades. Also, my daughter's system uses a mediaMVP front end, and I'm not sure that the MVP folks have moved to 0.20 yet... Marc |

Performing the above should not break D1. In terms of any software tweaks one can do w/ older version of MythTV, I'm unaware of them. I've not intention of trying to tweak older software when the newer version works the same as the old only with a different source. |

Fair enough, but I do have a final question. After doing some more digging, my conclusion is that I should not install the new version of xmltv until I am able to obtain a schedules direct account. I say this because it looks like once I do this install, my system will be going to the schedules direct URL for guide data instead of the zap2it labs URL. Am I correct about this, or am I mis-understanding how things work? Thanks! Marc |

Yep, unfortunately this is true - I upgraded yesterday with cecil's excellent directions (thanks!) but this broke mythfilldatabase using the old zap2it logon - as you said the URL has changed in XMLTV. I hope they allow new SD users soon because I've got enough guide data to last into Sept., but I can't get any more from Z2L unless I back off what I just did. |

slowbiscuit, thanks for the information -- sorry that you hit this problem. Perhaps a download, build and install of the previous version will enable you to continue using zap2it until you can get signed up with sd... Marc |

Will this require that I rescan and setup all my QAM channels from scratch again? That took forever. |

Cecil's directions do imply that you will need to do that (drop and re-creation of sources). I have read some other postings in other forums that state that the dropping and re-creation of video sources is not necessary. (mythtv email archives and the schedules direct forum). I don't have enough knowledge to know for sure one way or the other. Marc |
