tv_grab_file - where to put .xml file
Added by Dan Lo about 6 years ago
Hello,
I spun up a tvheadend Docker container with an IPTV. This IPTV also offers custom .xml EPG guide. I cannot figure out how to import that file using tv_grab_file, as I am not sure where to put the file so the script can pick it up. I keep getting:
2018-09-11 18:28:11.160 xmltv: /usr/bin/tv_grab_file: grab /usr/bin/tv_grab_file
2018-09-11 18:28:11.160 spawn: Unable to fork() for "/usr/bin/tv_grab_file" -- Out of memory
2018-09-11 18:28:11.160 xmltv: /usr/bin/tv_grab_file: no output detected
2018-09-11 18:28:11.160 xmltv: /usr/bin/tv_grab_file: grab returned no data
Any help is appreciated!

/usr/bin/tv_grab_file is a script.
Read it and see where it's looking for input.
However the "Unable to fork() for "/usr/bin/tv_grab_file" -- Out of memory" leads me to think you might have a different problem.

Another issue is that tv_grab_file is a bash script. If the bash shell isn't present, you need an alternative version that will run under whatever shell you have. However it's the error message that's confusing - if it really is out of memory then I don't know what can be done short of adding more memory or using a machine with more resources available, or maybe checking to see if some other software is running concurrently that's eating up resources.
