I'm assuming I'm missing a lot of the Perl stuff.


Anyone have a shortcut to getting this work?

I've always used the SQLite version from the link immediately under this:

Well that's the version I did last. Basically building from github.com.
Does tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite --version work for you? I stopped when that
failed. Maybe the manage-listings will work?

A recent update of tumbleweed (zypper dup) stopped mythweb working for me. Does anyone have it working ?

It does:


$ tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite --version
XMLTV module version 1.1.1
This is tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite version 1.110

The work I do involves ‘on board a dive ship’ where power is ‘*very*’ flakey (even reset through charger into LiPo battery) so I use ext4 (better than btfs) so I used ext4 on my home system and I can’t roll back.
I guess I just want one of you folk to say’mythweb works for me’

I found an old version on Packman repo, but it does not contain tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite. Building XMLTV from the github repo didn't work. I'm assuming I'm missing a lot of the Perl stuff.

Typically, if you build from the XMLTV github repo (starting
with running `perl Makefile.PL`) it should tell you what perl
libraries you are missing.

And, ultimately, to help yourself and others, you may
wish to pick up the XMLTV package in the user
contributed packman repos (as I recall, the current
XMLTV version is 1.2.1, while the latest packman
version is 0.<something>, so rather much older).
Typically such work is not especially onerous once
you have the spec file working as the XMLTV project
does not often add new dependencies. You may
even be able to start with the spec files from other
RPM based distros, such as the one on RPMFusion.

I think my problems start with not knowing anything about Perl and
installing missing libraries. This is complicated by not knowing Opensuse
Tumbleweed's repo priorities of one Packman vs. another.

Sounds like for bleeding edge stuff I should stick to Arch which has its
own AUR for xmltv and mythtv.git. The archlinux wiki fills in the blanks.
I was just experimenting with Opensuse Tumbleweed to see if I liked its
handling of btrfs better than other distros. I think it's time for this old
dog to head back to safer waters.

Thanks,
