Post subject:  Error with mythfilldatabase
i installed knoppmyth yesterday and all went fine to the point of getting
the channels at the mythtv setup stage. i switched to the console and answered the questions whether i wanted to add a channel or not, but then
no programm information is grabbed.

Code:
mythtv@vdr:~$ mythfilldatabase

If you live in Europe, or outside USA, you try to run this over mythv user:

mythfilldatabase --manual --preset

Outside USA the tv's changing channels about different area's, with this line you can tune the channels. MythTV don't autoscan the channels, it's make thinking in USA.

Best Regards and i hopefully help with this.

ok the mythfilldatabase thing is fixed

but now i have the next problem. it sounds like a really simple problem, but its annoying.
i cant change the programs :(
neither using the arrow keys nor the usage of numbers work.
so what do i have to do?

Please, try to re-order channels for number 1 to up.
You can try options --manual --preset or you can try to make trying mythweb.

P.D.:
Do you have DVB-T in your config ???

Post subject:  Similar problem - mythfilldatabase error
I am having a similar problem, it skils all of the data when trying to download it from zap2it. I am fairly certain i have the login info correct.

Also, when i try to access the program guide when watching live tv it hangs for a second, then crashed right out of myth with no error message.


any suggestiosn?

I did NOT have an ethernet cord plugged in when i installed knoppmyth (r5a22)

I solved the problem by reinstalling knoppmyth with the ethernet cord plugged in.
