Hi.
Tvheadend 3.2.34
Background:
I've got a Hauppage 2250 dual tuner working. TVH finds all the channels and I can watch them. Can't seem to get the EPG to populate.
What I've done:
1) Used tv_grab_na_dd to get program information from Schedules Direct into xmltv.xml file. Placed the xmltv.xml file in /home/hts and /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend
2) Opened xmltv.xml file to find channel names. Looks like this:
<station id='20368'>
<callSign>KSLDT</callSign>
<name>KSLDT (KSL-DT)</name>
<fccChannelNumber>38</fccChannelNumber>
<affiliate>NBC Affiliate</affiliate>
</station>
3) Went to TVH WebUI. Went to Configuration > TV Adapters > Services and typed the <callSign> name into the "Channel Name" column corresponding to the "Service Name" column for each channel.
4) Restarted TVH.
5) Went back to Configuration > Channels and the channel names are updated but the "EPG Grab Source" is empty. When I click on the "EPG Grab Source" drop down box it tries to load but nothing lists. I try to type the channel name in here but it won't save here and empties.
Questions:
1) Generally, what am I missing?
2) Am I putting the xmltv.xml file in the correct place? Since I'm using tv_grab_na_dd and Schedules Direct for my program info, how do I tell TVH about this? Must I still enable the EPG Grabber for it to see any xmltv.xml file? Where does it look? And if so, what setting is best (see the TVH version)?
3) Am I mapping the channels to the xmltv.xml file correctly? I do this from the TV Adapter settings, right? If not, where? Remember that I cannot select the "EPG Grab Source" drop down. Where does the "EPG Grab Source" get its info anyway?
I'm so close to functionality, and I'd be willing to write a newer tutorial with the new WebUI once I get all these steps in order. Just missing the EPG last step.
Thanks in advance,
Mathew
