EPG problem

Feb 9, 2006, 12:59 AM

Post #1 of 5 (2674 views)

Actually the problem is probably with me (and my lack of expertise)

We bought a new hard drive and did a complete rebuild of MythTV (on Gentoo)
from scratch.

Almost everything is working now but I am struggling with my EPG.

We used to use the ONTV listings as recommended on this page
http://www.wlug.org.nz/MythTvNotes

We have a simple script which used to work....
cd
mv listings.xml listings.xml_old
wget http://ontv.orcon.net.nz/listings.xml
mythfilldatabase --file 1 7 listings.xml --update

This is what I get now. Can anyone tell me what to do to fix it?

Did you run mythfilldatabase with --manual first?

I am not sure that they are detailed instructions - IMHO.

When I ran
mythfilldatabase --file 1 7 listings.xml --manual

I can put in my settings but I suspect that I put some in wrong last night as
I seemed to stuff up my channels.

After some experimentation and looking at
mythfilldatabase --help

I have found that if you do it all correctly and in the right order it can be
very simple.

What we did to get it sorted (maybe someone could add it to the local
wiki).....

run mythsetup and delete all channels (previously manually setup)
run
mythfilldatabase --file 1 7 listings.xml --do_channel_updates
which put in most of the channel info needed.

Then run mythsetup again adding to the new channels...
Channel No.
TV Format
Frequency ID

Also we manually added channels for Sky and C4 which ar not in the ONTV epg.
