Xmltv zip

Using DD the xmltvid's are a numeric value. I recommend that you backup your database and make sure there are no recordings scheduled for the near future before starting. Before attempting this bear in mind the following. If any channel's chanid changes, your existing programs will show the wrong channel that the program was recorded on. The mechanisms in MythTV for adding channels use a format of sourceid and channel number to create a chanid wherever possible.

So channel 2 on source id 2 will be chanid , for example. If it cannot do that then it will allocate a chanid number which is unrelated to the channel number or source id. In order to see the chanids you will have to look at the channel table in the database. See if your existing chanid numbers match the scheme described in the previous paragraph. If the chanids match the scheme above you should be able to safely delete them and let mythfilldatabase add them. You can delete all of the existing channels for each video source in mythtv-setup, channel editor.

Select the Video source and click Delete. To add all of the channels you have selected as well as listings, run mythfilldatabase. Default options will add channels and listings.

If you prefer not to delete your channels or you have a DVB type tuner you will have to update the xmltvids in all of them. Using this grabber the xmltvid has the format Innnnn. You will have to change all of your existing ids to this format. The easiest place to make this change is with mythweb channel editor, although you can use the mythtv-setup channel editor as well.

If you did not capture the output you can run this again at any time, no harm will be done. Once you have updated all of the xmltvid's, run mythfilldatabase. Your channel names and icons will be updated to match the values supplied by schedules direct. In a tuner type that does not use scanning, such as a cable card tuner, any channels not found with matching xmltvids are added.

If you have missed updating some xmltvids that could result in duplication of the channel. If you prefer to use the command line, run. First configure the grabber to select all channels. I ended up using TVGuide mainly anyway, because they provide Season and Episode info for most shows, and Passport does not.

They are added when i upload them. Make sure to remove those underscores. Im not based in US, so what city zone should i use to get the Disney, discovery, fox sport, etc national channels??

If you're looking for the most common channels, they should be in there. Then you don't need to create your own list, just use mine. The one i uploaded works tvguide. I got an error tho error downloading page: Error: SecureChannelFailure The authentication or decryption has failed. Whant am i missing? Are you using windows or Linux? Net, if Linux, make sure you have the latest Mono. Couple questions tho: 1. I get the following warning for each channel The offset is Thanks Bud, updated mono and now OK.

That warning is normal for some websites, it's fine. I set the timezone in the ini to UTC. That way the time should adjust to anyone that uses it around the world. Ok, so its converting from Houston gmt-6 to utc No drama, Ok, so its converting from Houston gmt-6 to utc What do you mean by that? Did you maybe misread my response?

Hope that makes sense. Once again, an expert probably can explain better. I'm still new to all of this myself. BTW, I loaded all the channels in your xml file and got loads of duplicate warnings Was so confused.

You'll need to call one of them differently. Uthall wrote: lol Ok, yeah, if you past the entire channels list, you're bound to get errors. Plus that is like a 24 hour job. Just choose the channels you want. Nope, i simply added all the channels from the tvguide. I couldn't quite follow how you guys resolved the message about the web grabbing warning for tvguide. I get the error, but it is no producing any channels after the process stops.

Try with one only and you will see that works. Skip to content. Star Branches Tags. Could not load branches. Could not load tags. Latest commit. Git stats 5, commits.
