if you are in the USA the instructions in the WiKi are wrong. you have to run the perl script that looks at the first load of data you grabbed from XMLTV and parse it for the station names which are bizzare web-addresses for usa channel data.
read the wiki and ignore the instructions about how to do it any way excepf for the lazy way, then hand copy and edit the generated channel list into yout freevo_local.py as the wiki specifies.. -----Original Message----- From: Mike LeVan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 10:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Freevo-users] XMLTV Program Guide Help Hi all, I am new to the freevo movement, but I am excited! I have been working on it all week, and I am down to a couple of problems that I just can't figure out. So far, I have Freevo installed. I can watch TV and DVD's. I also have the web interface running. However, the one thing that is giving me the hardest time is the Program Guide. I am using XMLTV to get the information. I have edited my configuration files, and the correct TV stations appear in the correct order. However, every time I try to generate a program guide, I get the dreaded "This channel has no data loaded." I started out using XMLTV version 0.5.16, and I then proceeded to upgrade to veresion 0.5.17. Still no luck. I have scoured the older messages, and tried all the different scripts people have posted. I have also followed a couple of well written webpages about setting up a Freevo. Unfortunately, nothing seems to work. Everything seems to be working as it should. The files generated by XMLTV have the descriptions in them, and the link to /tmp/TV.??? is fine. I am at the office, or I would send a snippet of the files to get you opinions. Does anyone have any thoughts on what I might be able to try?
