Re: [mythtv] New Country

[Anil Gupte]

Thanx, that gives us a lot to work with and digest!  Really appreciate the 
detailed reply and all the code.

As I understand it (please correct me if I am wrong), we can get it working in a 
fashion without a functioning grabber, just by using a perl script to fill in 
the schedules, and perhaps update them too.  We want to see how it works first 
(just for some oohs and ahs :-)), and then we will roll up our sleeves and dig 
into code and write a grabber.

Thanx again,
Anil Gupte

Hi Anil,

I successfully added support for South Korea, made an xmltv grabber and
added simple Hangul (Korean script) program finder.

I'd recommend working from the latest code rather than any prebuilt
binaries because you're definitely going to have to recompile and if you
run into any bugs you won't get any help here if you're not running the
latest code.

The very first thing you'll need to do is add support for an indian
grabber (filldata.cpp) and a menu option to select it in the setup
program (videosource.cpp).  Attached are my patches for these files.
(Actually, the majority of the changes to filldata.cpp are for an
optional command-line param for tv_grab_* grabbers "xmltv_options" so
you might night want to bother merging those lines)

One you've got that going, you'll need to write a video listing grabber
for find some other way to populate the program table.

I used the tv_grab_jp as an example but I didn't support anything like
daily updates or options for date ranges.  I just run it once a week as
"mythfilldatabase --nodelete" and it runs tv_grab_kr and reads the xmltv
data it generates.

If you don't want to go that route, you can easily just insert new
programs directly into the program table using SQL from a perl script.
I do this for some programs that the website I use for my source doesn't
reliably list.

Once you've got program data in there, the rest of it is pretty easy.  I
use a cable box so tuning wasn't a problem.  Not sure about Indian
television standards but it should be pretty straight-forward to add
support if one of the existing frequency tables don't work.  All the
important code is in libs/libmythtv, just have a look around and search
with grep.

Unicode support is pretty complete and the only thing you need to do is
choose an OSD font that will display your character set. (put a TTF file
in /usr/local/share/mythtv/)

Let me know if you want any more of my patches or help, I haven't
submitted them because they're all pretty hacky but they work for me.

Good luck!

Cheers
Jack

Looking for expertise in MythTV and XMLTV setup for a new country.  We
are setting up MythTV in India and having a heck of a (bad) time.
Initially, we are setting it up using Knoppix, although we will
recompile from scratch eventually.  We just want to get it up and
running first.  If someone (some team) has set up a new country,
including writing a grabber, discovering frequencies and all that, we
sure could use your help and/or advice.  We have lots of Linux and C
expertise and we can probably find Perl skills (for XMLTV).  If you know
of someone and they are not on this list or not on this list anymore,
please forward this request to them.

We will really, really appreciate it.
