What distro are you using. Mandrake has several of the mods available
through urpmi.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Getting xmltv to work? Perl issues


I'm getting lots of perl errors when running xmltv. Trying to using CPAN
is not working for me. I keep getting errors not being able to connect
to ftp.perl.org??

Is there any other way to download these needed modules?

Regards,
Christopher Jones

Red Hat 9

here is what I get when I run tv_grab_na:

parameterless "use IO" deprecated at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/XML/Writer.pm line 16
parameterless "use IO" deprecated at /usr/bin/tv_grab_na line 525
/usr/bin/tv_grab_na: /root/.xmltv/tv_grab_na.conf:8: invalid

which might be useless since I know I have missing perl mods.

here is what I get when I try the perl Makefile.PL:

parameterless "use IO" deprecated at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/XML/Writer.pm line 16

BTW, I tried installing all of this using apt-get install xmltv.

I have worked with linux for some time but it has always been on servers
and everything was compiled from source. This is my first time owkring
with "installers" or RPMs.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Actually, Mandrake 9.1 / Cooker has all of the perl modules required
for North America XMLTV loadable using urpmi.

# urpmi perl-xml-twig perl-xml-writer perl-datemanip perl-libwww-perl

Should do it.

These are just warning messages. I get the same ones. It still works
fine.

I don't think you'll have a valid tv_grab_na.conf by default. I think
you'll get one after running mythtv's setup, however. You can create one
by following the mythtv documentation, or by following the xmltv
documentation. All depends on what you want. (I'd recommend myth's.)

Are you sure? Are there other errors you haven't mentioned, because the
only fatal error here appears to be a missing configuration file, which
isn't really a Perl or xmltv issue.

And you followed your 'perl Makefile.PL' with 'make' and 'make install',
right?

Sure, that's another way you can do it.

From what I see, it looks like you've just missed a few configuration
steps, probably because the warning messages made you think something
was severely broken when it actually wasn't. Make sure you've created a
.i18n file or similar as specified in the myth docs, or else xmltv
definitely won't work well for you. :-)

Thank you for your help.

reply is below.

Ok I wont worry about them then.

I have rebuilt the tv_grab_na.conf with both methods(myth setup and
xmltv configure). Since I know myth is working I have been trying to
just get xmltv working from the command line by itself.

yes

no other errors and I have since added the perl mods it says it is
missing manually. The only one that didn't install right is the
Lingua::Preferred.

One of the main problems is that I am reading from about 3 to 5
different setup manuals. Nobody seems to have a working install doc for
doing this on Red Hat 9.

I first tried the rpm way of installing and it is not working so then I
tried to manually do everything. That is not working either.

It seems that everything is working except xmltv now.

I can do everything except go to the program guide in myth. Since it has
no channel data yet.

Is there any other information that would be useful to you?

Thanks for you help so far.

What is QT?

Does xmltv use QT?

Check the XMLTV mailing list. I think the author says this is
a known bug that's fixed in XMLTV CVS.

Sweet man! Thanks!

I couldn't get to the mailing list since the site is down for now, but I
went ahead and gave the cvs version a shot and it works fine.

It looks like this first mythfilldatabase is going to take a while so
I'll see if myth works when it is done.

Thanks again!!
