I've been searching the forums and google for a step-by-step guide for XMLTV, but there only seem to be fractions of a complete guide, and for some reason I could only manage once to have EPG based on XMLTV.
Would it be possible to extend my command set I have so far, to get this stuff working again? I guess many users out there would be interested getting a proper guide.
It would be also nice to see a firm answer whether or not the internal grabber feature should be used, or rather the socket version. I'm still running 3.5.247~g098b7de~saucy, and have a mixture of DVB-T and IPTV channels. I would only need the XMLTV EPG data for the IPTV channels since the DVB-T ones do get proper EPG.
As I said, XMLTV was working once, and I have the checkboxes for the channels in the drop-down menus, but even if I run the grabber again it will not show anything.
I've read that I need to login with the HTS user to run the grabber, but I can't find out how to do this, as I guess the hts user has no login capabilities...
So this is what I did so far:
tv_grab_huro --configure
tv_grab_huro --out /home/hts/.xmltv/xmltv.xml
iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf8 /home/hts/.xmltv/xmltv.xml > /home/hts/.xmltv/xmltv.tmp
mv /home/hts/.xmltv/xmltv.tmp /home/hts/.xmltv/xmltv.xml
apt-get install socat
tv_grab_huro | socat -unix-connect:/home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/epggrab/xmltv.sock
So far it's not willing to start working, so any help would be highly appreciated, I'm probably missing something, that I did last time...
