zap2epg guide not populating in TVHeadend
Added by Diane Schroeder over 3 years ago
I know I've done something wrong, but I've attempted to follow several guides, and searched all over the internet to see what I might have done wrong... I can get my OTA TV channels (coming from antenna, through HDHomeRun Extend), but I can't get the Zap2epg guide data to fill in TVHeadend.
Kodi 19.0 is my front end, running on Linux Mint 20.1 (which I'm very new to using), but the error seams to be in my TVHeadend setup (I think). I'm using the EPG Grabber Module: XMLTV: tv_grab_zap2epg is a simple grabber for USA-Canada. However, EPG Grabber Channels is empty (don't know if that is supposed to be, or not), but Channels lists 78 channels.
This is the log when I run "rerun internal EPG Grabbers":

2021-03-23 17:24:24.469 xmltv: /bin/tv_grab_zap2epg: grab returned no data
My .kodi directory is under my user name, not hts. If that is the issue, how do I redirect to the correct location? Or, do I have to somehow move .kodi to hts? If it is a different issue, I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks so much for any assistance anyone can provide.

This is actually a kodi plugin or addon and not really an XMLTV grabber in the sense that TVH would expect as far as I can tell.
Your log would seem to indicate that the zap2epg addon is not properly installed. If you have recently upgraded from kodi 18. to kodi 19 then it would likely need to be reinstalled to a newer version that works with Python 3.
