TVH seems to not to get XMLTV
Added by Xander Log about 10 years ago
Hi all,
I have install webgrab++ in a system that uses tvheadend and I'm not able to make it read the data stored on guide.xml. I feel that I've almost everything made and I'm losing some little detail, so I hope someone can help me.
At this moment I have the guide.xlm generated and when I run in terminal:
/usr/bin/tv_grab_wg++
I get the EPG data that I scanned, so it's working ok. then I go to TVheadend and in the "EPG Grabber" section I've gone to "Internal Grabber" and select "XMLTV: /usr/bin/tv_grab_wg++".
I have also install "xmtv" running:
sudo apt-get install xmltv
My problem is that no matter what I configure in the "EPG Grabber" tab, I can't make TVheadend using the EPG data stored with webgrab+
Many thanks in advance

Hi,
Are you sure tv_grap runs when restarting tvheadend ?
You can check using ps -A |grep tv.
You can also check the file storing the date, it is in the home-directory of the tvheadend-user under .xmltv .
Is it up to date and does it contain the date you would expect to turn up in tvheadend?
In my case, tv_grab only took the next three days of data, which was similar to the OTA-EPG, so it seemed tv_grap didn't do anything useful...

Many thanks for your answer, Alex,
The problem was that channels' name of tvheadend didn't match with the ones on webgrab+, I had to edit que WebGrab++.config.xml file and changind the name, for example:
<channel update="i" site="elpais.com" site_id="neox" xmltv_id="Neox">NEOX</channel>
The last "NEOX" came originally as Neox, and didn't work until I changed to "NEOX" (all in uppercase, to make it mach witch the channel as recognized in TVHeadend.
Many thanks again

I just switched to tv_grab_nl_py and I may have the same issue, I can only see the EPG for a few channels. Should I change to channelnames in the .conf to match the channelnames in TvHeadend or should I edit the channel names in TvHeadend ?

Is this in tvheadend, or in the output of tv_grab ?
Best is to first check if the information tv_grab fetches does contain the necessary information ( i.e. .xmltv/program_cache).
If the 'missing' data is not there, you might want to generate a new .conf file (what channels are you missing ? It might be the source that is used bij tv_grap does not contain all channels).

.conf file is ok, I edited out the channels I don't need.
I followed this guide: https://tvheadend.org/boards/4/topics/7941?r=8548
I see program info the program_cache file, what should this file look like ?
For instance I can see that every program name starts with V, the time also starts with V: "V00:55 - 01:20 uur" I don't see channelnames in this file.
RE: TVH seems to not to get XMLTV - Added by Alex . about 10 years ago
- Are there no channel names at all ?
Maybe try cat program_cache | grep -i BBC
- Can you try to find any of the programs that are missing from tvheadend in the program_cache
The question is if the program that you would expect to appear in the tvheadend guide is in the program_cache or not.
- Otherwise, are there specific channels you are missing ? Or is it random ?

Deleted all XMLTV related files and started over again. Seems to be working fine now. Thanks.
