xmltv - no epg

Added by john wolfley almost 10 years ago

in web tvheadend, configuration, channel/epg, epg grabber:

Internal Grabber, module:

module only shows Disabled (no selection)

running raspi,openelec,tvheadend (ver HTS Tvheadend 3.9.2182~gbd20a53)

used mc2xml to create xmltv.xml and placed in folder:

\addon_data\service.multimedia.tvheadend\xmltv

should i be using external interfaces, the path is wrong? i feel i am missing something obvious.

the help button in the EPG Grabber panel tells us

External interfaces

Checkbox list to enable/disable available modules. The path field contains the absolute path of the unix domain socket into which EPG data can be sent.`

To send data to the socket use the command "netcat -u SOCKET_PATH".
Note: for some systems the netcat flags can vary so please consult the man page.

I have not tried if the path field would accept a normal file.

You could also look at the internal grabbers, they use tv_grab_xxxx modules from /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin (whereever you installed the xmltv-utils package). tvheadend will call the grabber program at the time in Cron multi-line and consumes the output.

(whereever you installed the xmltv-utils package)

thats something i have tried to figure out. openelec (V5.0) doesnt appear to have xmltv-utils package.

if it does i would appreciate instructions how to install it.
