Tvheadend

In searching the Internet, I found another post that stated that tvheadend needed to be restarted after moving the config file. I did this, at the debug output has changed as shown below:

Nov 09 21:08:48 /usr/bin/site_perl/tv_grab_na_dd: grab /usr/bin/site_perl/tv_grab_na_dd

Nov 09 21:10:58 /usr/bin/site_perl/tv_grab_na_dd: grab took 130 seconds

Nov 09 21:10:58 /usr/bin/site_perl/tv_grab_na_dd: parse took 0 seconds

Nov 09 21:10:58 /usr/bin/site_perl/tv_grab_na_dd: channels tot= 10 new= 0 mod= 0

Nov 09 21:10:58 /usr/bin/site_perl/tv_grab_na_dd: brands tot= 0 new= 0 mod= 0

Nov 09 21:10:58 /usr/bin/site_perl/tv_grab_na_dd: seasons tot= 0 new= 0 mod= 0

Nov 09 21:10:58 /usr/bin/site_perl/tv_grab_na_dd: episodes tot= 0 new= 0 mod= 0

Nov 09 21:10:58 /usr/bin/site_perl/tv_grab_na_dd: broadcasts tot= 0 new= 0 mod= 0

The data is being downloaded now. However, nothing is being displayed in the EPG window. According to the debug output, I have ten channels available, but not a damn thing available for viewing!! I opened the file I manually downloaded, and it does contain lots of broadcast info.

What criteria is being used to think that no broadcasts or episodes are in the download file?

Please attach the XMLTV file you manually downloaded so I can take a look and see if there is a problem.

Also please indicate which version of TVH you're using.

I am using version 3.2.18. I also tried running version 3.2 which showed the same result. I did this by running "make install" from the folder where I built the 3.2 version. I do not know if that is valid or not. If I need to uninstall before running such test, please let me know the required sequence. I am running the installed version from /usr/local/bin/tvheadend.

Attached is the xml file when I manually downloaded from Schedules Direct.

Every 12 hours the grabber does successfully run, but each time the result is the same. The white space in the channel names that I gave the channels and what Schedules Direct calls them was slightly different, so I changed my names to exactly match theirs, still no joy.

OK,

I can't see anything obvious in the XMLTV file. Can you mail me directly your .hts directory, that way I can try replaying the XMLTV file into your setup.

Hi Adam,

I tried to email a zip file of the .hts directory, but the email bounced back as containing an illegal attachment. The directory does not contain any sensitive info, so I will just attach it here. You can delete the attachment from the forum if you think it should not be public.

Thanks.

OK,

the problem is that TVH is unable to automatically map the XMLTV to TVH channels so you need to do it manually. Got to Configuration->Channels and for each channel you need to select the appropriate channel in EPG Grab source.

Thank you Adam. I followed your directions to manually map these and the EPG is working for me now!
