MythTV in New Zealand

Is anyone here using mythtv in NZ, with SKY or Saturn? I've got the machine
running fine here, but am having trouble with tv_grab_nz. The default
tv_grab_nz
that comes with 0.17 dosn't seem to function with error messages being
generated
when it is run from the setup.

I've tried using tv_grab_nz from the following url

http://mr.geek.nz/epg/tv_grab_nz

This dosn't seem to function directly from mythfilldatabase, but if run
on its own with
the following options seems to generate valid and current xml for listings.

tv_grab_nz --days 5 --channels sky >tvlistings.xml

This can then be imported using mythfilldatabase --file 0 -1 tvlistings.xml

(I had to run --manual first to setup the channel identifiers etc)

The above does seem to function, and I see lots of program listings
appearing in the
database and am able to search them via name/time/date etc. However when
viewing
live TV I don't see any tv-listings at all when pressing the 's' key. I
found that if I go
into the channel editor in setup and assign some channel numbers then I
breifly see
some listing information appearing, closely followed by a segmentation
fault. The segmentation fault as seen in gdb

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

If anyone is able to help that would be appreciated.....I'll get this onto the dev list later if needed.

Hi,

I'm using the listings from mr.geek.nz.

I have a cronjob running at 3am every morning that does something like
the commands you listed.

You might want to add --update to your mthfilldatabase command.

The problem I think you have is the XMLID settings in the channel table
of the database. These listings have something like TV1.mr.geek.nz as
the id, this should match the xmltvid setting in line for TV1 in the
mythconverg database (hows your sql ;-) )

Not sure about the seg fault though, haven't seen this...

Cheers
Kev

You don't suffer this problem though, with having TV1.mr.geek.nz
not matching TV1 ? A little SED before parsing the xml should cure that
though

No, I have changed the XMLID of each channel in the channels table of
mythconverg to read TV1.mr.geek.nz, and so on. Oh, and you'll need to
use different sources for TV1/2 and 3/4 as Saturn and Sky don't seem to
carry certain channels, I can't tell you which is which as I'm not near
the box at the moment.

I've found the listings from here to be pretty reliable apart from a
period over Christmas (I think he went away and things fell over).

Cheers
Kev

Ok - so the opposite works also, clear the database out and then strip
mr.geek.nz from the
xlm and it loads fine and displays in the scheduler. Just have to remove
this each time, why does he
have this included as it must be breaking his myth setup also?

Easy enough to strip this out using sed though
