Definitely get the original linux script (hads).<br>
Then you can modify the line which selects which "file.xml" to grap as
per your needs.<br>
<br>
Check you have python environment working . Maybe run the myth mysql
database backup script (.mythtv/scripts) to check.<br>
<br>
Should be able to run <br>
1. "tv_grab_nz-py --configure"<br>
(no command prefix needed & no .py suffix)<br>
<br>
Download the freeview .xml or other .xml epg file & then try:<br>
2. mythfilldatabase --file 1 freeview.xml --update<br>
observe the stdout<br>
<br>
then try (long tedious)<br>
3. mythfilldatabase --manual<br>
<br>
Then run <br>
4. mythfilldatabase <br>
observe the stdout as it does the download & db update etc<br>

run tv_find_grabbers from the command line and it still doesn't find

list of the commands that were used<br>
6 errors found.<br>
<br>
Basically I think the script I'm using is failing at the validate phase
so mythtv-setup ignores it. I tried running the script from the
commandline without prefixing with python, i.e ./tv_grab_nz to see if
the Python environment was OK. It came back with an error like "Bad
Interpreter: /usr/bin/python^M"<br>
<br>
After I had shut the PC down for the night it occurred to me that the
"^M" at the end of that error message might indicate an end of line
problem. The script I'm using has been copied from my Windows GBPVR
machine and I have opened it in an editor on that platform in the past.
I'll try again with a virgin copy of Hadley's script and see if it can
pass the validation check.<br>
<br>
Feel free to offer any further suggestions that occur to you, and
thanks for your help.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

Welcome.<br>
<br>
MythTV uses tv_find_grabbers to find the grabbers, it's easier to test<br>
with that from the CLI than open mythtv-setup all the time.<br>
<br>
I think all you need is xmltv installed and tv_gran_nz-py in your<br>
(mythtv's) path and it should work. Anything named tv_grab* is fine<br>
IIRC.<br>
