Hi everybody! Instead of just asking questions on IRC, I thought this would be a better place to summarize how to use Freevo with nxtvepg. I saw that the Wiki talks about it: http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/Nxtvepg Also, Florian sent me this link: http://demmer.ipax.at/blog/?static=/wiki/&page=ProjectEpiaHtpcNxtvepg
Now, to summarize what I understood so far: 1) First, one should install and configure nxtvepg, and I succeeded doing so. :-) 2) For Freevo integration, one uses the XMLTV export function. 3) (This is where it starts to become less clear:) In the past, nxtvepg could not run in parallel to Freevo, but nowadays, it can just run in the background, and that's the usual thing to do. The command is sth. along nxtvepg -rcfile path_to_configured_nxtvepgrc -daemon and then nxtvepg -rcfile path_to_configured_nxtvepgrc -dump xml > /tmp/TV.xml to save the XML file. 4) Optimally, one uses an init.d script to start nxtvepg with -daemon / stop with -daemonstop. 5) What's the best way to periodically push the XML into Freevo? Obviously a cronjob.. now isn't the Wiki missing a freevo command for re-reading /tmp/TV.xml? I hope thinking this all out loud helps someone. :-) Greetings, Hans PS: This is all because xmltv stopped working these days... again. :-( As I said on IRC, I suffer from the following xmltv error (using tv_grab_de_tvtoday): "Code point \u0008 is not a valid character in XML at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/XMLTV.pm line 1162". I remember having seen sth. like that on freevo-devel, but I cannot find it anymore. Anyhow, xmltv is plain broken. ;-/
