Righto, I am still having trouble getting tv to play in freevo, or even getting the tv guide to update.
I have installed shepherd grabber for Australia (is some process in Arch Linux) as recommended and have run this using
freevo tv_grab
which actually runs, except:
The end of the output of this command is:
Cached output stored in /home/larry/.shepherd/output.xmltv.
Not configured to use tv_sort, skipping.
caching data, this may take a while
Couldn't load the TV Guide, got an exception!
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/ronald/community/community/multimedia/freevo/pkg/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/freevo/tv/epg_xmltv.py", line 121, in get_guide

ValueError: need more than 2 values to unpack
Scheduling favorites for recording:
TV record server is not available
Also, within freevo when I click on the tv guide I get the following error:
Error: VIDEO_SHOW_DATA_DIR not found
WARNING: PyLirc not found, lirc remote control disabled!

I am almost ready to give up setting up my freevo htpc guys; my dvb settings are as follows:

':width=%d:height=%d' % (TV_REC_SIZE[0], TV_REC_SIZE[1]) +
':outfmt=%s' % TV_REC_OUTFMT +
':device=%s' % TV_DEVICE +
VCR_AUDIO + # set above
' -ovc lavc -lavcopts ' + # Mencoder lavcodec video codec
'vcodec=mpeg4' + # lavcodec mpeg-4

'keyint=30 ' + # Keyframe every 10 secs, change?
'-oac mp3lame -lameopts ' + # Use Lame for MP3 encoding, must be enabled in mencoder!

Can anyone tell me the settings for Xine Tv as I have tv working in Xine. So far actually getting tv to play in freevo has eluded me.
Cheers for all the help so far guys. However, I await some pe(a)rls of wisdom from all you learned linuxers.
Larry
