Hi Pirlouwi et al,
I've read those links now, and so I think I can form more specific
questions:
1. I'm in North America, and I remember reading recently that XMLTV is no
longer alive, due to some issue with the listings no longer being free. The
freevo docs say, "*XMLTV is a vital component providing the TV guide and
must be correctly configured before you continue*". Is this still true,
must I have XMLTV configured, even though it will no longer be able to
successfully retrieve listings? Suppose I don't care about the tv guide
feature?
2. Now I'm following along with doc.freevo.org/AnalogueGen . My
freevo.conf file is setup the way it should be. The last step then is
configuring the tv channel list. In it, you need to specify as one of the
parameters for each channel, the 'xmltvid'. Taking my first question into
consideration, does it matter what I enter into that field? Can I enter
"fake" data and not have anything crash? (I have not yet done channel
configuration but I'll try it tonight)
Thanks again for putting up with me,
Steven
