I have managed to get the EPG to populate mythtv. Eventually. And I'm
somewhat unclear as to whether I have it configured to automatically
update mythfilldatabase. These are the steps I took to get this far:
I have tv_grab_nz-py in my /.home/roger/.mythtv folder, and copied to
/usr/local/bin, it is executable.
I've run tv_grab_nz-py --configure and have a
/home/roger/.xmltv/tv_grab_nz-py.conf file.
I downloaded the freeview.xml file from nzepg.org then ran
"mythfilldatabase --file 1 freeview.xml --update". I continued to have
"unknown" in the mythtv program listings until I used mythweb to add
xmltvid data for each channel.
Now I have EPG populated, I turn to it's automated updating and see the
default backend settings for mythfilldatabase as follows:
Automatically run mythfilldatabase (tick)
Mythfilldatabase program: /usr/bin/mythfilldatabase
Run mythfilldatabase at time suggested by the grabber (tick)
Arguments blank
Run frequency (days) 1
I suspect I need some arguments passed in order to involve tv_grab_nz-py
but don't see if/how/where I may need to do this. Could someone offer
guidance on what I may need to do?
Cheers,
Roger
