Hi john,
I will explain you what I have done.
I have the changed the file freevo.conf which you can see below
cdparanoia = /usr/bin/cdparanoia
chanlist = india
display = x11
flac = /usr/bin/flac
geometry = 800x600
jpegtran = /usr/local/bin/jpegtran
lame = /usr/local/bin/lame
lsdvd = /usr/bin/lsdvd
mencoder = /usr/local/bin/mencoder
mplayer = /usr/local/bin/mplayer
oggenc = /usr/bin/oggenc
renice = /usr/bin/renice
setterm = /usr/bin/setterm
tv = pal
tvtime = /usr/bin/tvtime
version = 2.1
and I have changed the local_conf.py file which contains list of
channels which u can see below
TV_CHANNELS = [('2', 'DD National', '1'),
('3', 'DD Hindi', '3'),
('4', 'DD SPorts', '4') ]
Which has the frequencies in freq.py file which is shown below
PAL_INDIA = [
( "1", 188600 ),
( "2", 188300 ),
( "3", 188400 ),
( "4", 188500 ),
( "5", 155000 ),
( "6", 191000 ),
( "7", 144000 ),
( "8", 150000 ),
]
CHANLIST = {
"us-bcast" : dict(NTSC_BCAST),
"us-cable" : dict(NTSC_CABLE),
"us-cable-hrc" : dict(NTSC_HRC),
"japan-bcast" : dict(NTSC_BCAST_JP),
"japan-cable" : dict(NTSC_CABLE_JP),
"europe-west" : dict(PAL_EUROPE),
"europe-east" : dict(PAL_EUROPE_EAST),
"italy" : dict(PAL_ITALY),
"newzealand" : dict(PAL_NEWZEALAND),
"australia" : dict(PAL_AUSTRALIA),
"ireland" : dict(PAL_IRELAND),
"france" : dict(SECAM_FRANCE),
"china-bcast" : dict(PAL_CHINA),
"canada-cable" : dict(NTSC_CABLE_CAN),
"southafrica" : dict(PAL_BCAST_ZA),
"argentina" : dict(ARGENTINA),
"india" : dict(PAL_INDIA),
}
I have the done above changes to the corresponding files and started
freevo application. Once the applications shows the menu I enter into watch
TV and then to TV guide which shows my list of channels with channels has no
data loaded and enter to a particular channel it is not showing me the TV.
Is this the right way to play the TV even if my TV guide is not working. Let
me know anything wrong I have done.
Regards,
Yugandhar

Watching TV and having program information show up in the TV Guide are
two separate issues and one does not require the other. What I mean from
this is that if you have you're tv channels correctly defined in
local_conf.py (and in your case freq.py as they weren't included with
that) you can go into the tv guide and even if it shows 'channel has no
data loaded' you should still be able to hit play and that tv channel
should start playing. If this is not working please let us know.
To get a tv guide working with program info so you see data on the tv
shows that are on and do not get the 'channel has no data loaded'
message you need to have a source configured that provides a xml file
for freevo with this information. In Ireland I do this using the package
xmltv. I configure this separately to freevo to download information on
all the channels I receive and it stores this in a file I specify - in
my case /tmp/TV.xml (as this is where freevo looks for this information
by default). xmltv has different sources for getting this data, for
example my data is taken by xmltv from the BBC in England. It downloads
a file they make freely available on their website with all the tv guide
information. xmltv used similar sources in different countries depending
on whether you are in Ireland or England or Germany etc. The real issue
here is I don't know if there is a xmltv grabber (as they are called)
for India, you will need to find this out. If there is not you should
still be able to view tv just without any guide information.
If freevo has access to a TV.xml file it will load the information that
it finds in it that matches the channels you specify in your
local_conf.py. I hope this might in some way clear things up for you,
let us know how you get on.
John
