The is a field on the database that contains a tag (looks like a url)
that links that channel to the channel data on the RT website.
Here are some notes I've been keeping (full kudos to Garry Parker) -
====================================================================================
Have a look here -
http://www.kswindells.34sp.com/freeview/show.php/channels - to see the
Freeview channel
list
mkdir /uk <---temp dir to dump work files into
cd /uk
wget http://www.parker1.co.uk/mythtv/updatedvb
wget http://www.parker1.co.uk/mythtv/xmltv.dat
pico xmltv.dat <--- add the channel/xmltv mappings for your
local BBC1/BBC2/ITV1 area
chmod 766 updatedvb
./updatedvb -r
to check that the table has been updated correctly
echo "select chanid,channum,callsign,xmltvid from channel" | mysql -D
mythconverg
------------
Now you need to create the /root/.xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt.conf file
echo "select xmltvid from channel" | mysql -D mythconverg >
/root/.xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt.conf
pico /root/.xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt.conf
and insert the word "channel" and a space in front of each of the lines.
save the file and exit
=======================================================================
Making the Mythfilldatabase & tv_grab automatically run via cron
In the MythTV uncheck the box to auto run Mythfilldatabase
pico /etc/cron.daily/mythtv-backend and comment out all the lines
Create a new file
pico /etc/mythfill-1
containing these two lines -
#!/bin/sh
su mythtv -c "tv_grab_uk_rt --config-file
/root/.xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt.conf > /tmp/rt.xml"
Create another new file
pico /etc/mythfill-2
containing these two lines -
#!/bin/sh
su mythtv -c "mythfilldatabase --quiet --no-delete --file 1 0 /tmp/rt.xml"
then chmod the files to make them executable
chmod 755 /etc/mythfill-1
chmod 755 /etc/mythfill-2
pico /etc/crontab
add these lines at the end
45 01 * * * root /etc/mythfill-1
59 01 * * * root /etc/mythfill-2
And reboot
================================================================
Enjoy,
Lee
Hello all,
I've set up a MythTV backend to use with MiniMyth as a front end. The
back end has a single DVB-T card and I'm operating in the UK.
All seems to work pretty well, but I'm not sure how to get the listings
from the Radio Times website to be matched up against the DVB-T
channels. I've gone through the documented setup process (twice in fact
- I did it again from scratch in case I'd missed something) but I seem
to end up with two independent sets of channels in my MySQL database -
one set produced from scanning on the DVB-T card and one from the list
provided by the Radio Times. For example, in my Program Guide (and on
the mythweb page, which is where I've directly grabbed it from) I have:
08:15 08:30
2 No data
BBC TWO
2 Bring it on Jackie Chan
1040
3 No data
ITV1
3
1043 GMTV Today
In each case, the first channel of the pair seems to have been inserted
into the database by the DVB-T scan as part of the MythTV setup and the
second has been produced by mythfilldatabase from the output of
tv_grab_uk_rt. What do I modify to get the system to realise that the
listings match the DVB-T channels?
TIA,
John
