Hi guys, just a quick question...
I'm hooked up to Schedules Direct for North America channel listings. I'm using
Freevo's tv_grab helper. It grabs smoothly and life is good. However, my
machine isn't at the level of 'full time' yet: until I get a list of things I
want to record, it gets turned off overnight.
My concern is when I reboot it (either because it was turned off, or because
I'm testing) the TV schedules are gone until I do another tv_grab. I see that
the TV.xml is put into /tmp, but I was under the impression that once the
schedules are grabbed and cached, the TV.xml file is no longer needed. In fact,
at one point I deleted the TV.xml file and the full schedule list was still
available.
Is this done by design? Is it a known problem? I know that once the box goes
full-time, this probably won't matter (and the schedules will be updated
nightly). Should the TV.xml file be kept around? Having the 3.8M TV.xml plus
the 1.8M pickled file seems redundant to me, but I might not understand exactly
how the process works.
Just wanted to know if there was anything that could be done in the meantime. I
got the box to record a few shows last night and played them back this morning!
Progress is definitely good... ^_^
Oh! I looked at the TV.xml and see that SD sends end times... does this mean
there's no need to run tv_sort to put in end times manually? Also, I tried to
grab the NA channel icons, but when I went to run the makelogos helper, it
thought a moment, then barfed up a screen full of:
> Failed to get "file:///usr/local/share/xmltv/icons/ANIMALP.gif" for channel
> "I50001.labs.zap2it.com"
> error "Could not open /tmp/kaa-0/kaa-imlib2-img-138017250: 0"
I think there's one there for almost every channel on the listing. I've
confirmed the .gifs exist in that directory... seems to be this imlib2-img-
file that's causing the trouble.
The icons and tv_sort questions are minor, though... heck, this whole thing is
minor really... but I would like a few answers or nudges in the right direction.
Thanks for the help!
