Mythbuntu XMLTV Program Finder

Well I have made some progress,

Program Finder is working.



Important Links:

• Your XMLTV Source for South Africa (http://download.flash.za.org/schedule/zaxmltv.php)


• New site (http://zaxmltv.flash.za.org/)

Actions followed:

1. download xmltv listing.xml file


2. create video source with no grabber


3. run mythfilldatabase --file 1 listing.xml


4. If there is only one video source the number will be 1 else lof into MySQL and find the correct video source number.


5. Run MythTV Front and goto Program Finder

Mythbuntu XMLTV Grabber not showing

After struggeling for some time I eventually found a way to use the tv_grab_za grabber:

1. I downloaded the newest version from SF


2. Delete all the grabbers not used


3. run tv_find_grabbers

There is a timeout of 30 secs for grabbers and if there is to much of them they dont show up at all.
