Tvheadend

Been meaning to report this one for a while, but when you start TVHeadend the xmltv.sock file isn't created

If you do a "watch 'ls -lha /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/epggrab/'" while TVHeadend starts you see

-rwx------  1 hts video  369 Aug 13 20:36 config
drwx------  2 hts video  12K Aug 13 20:36 otamux
srwxrwxrwx  1 hts video    0 Aug 13 20:55 pyepg.sock
drwx------  3 hts video 4.0K Oct 25  2012 xmltv

Eventually change to

-rwx------  1 hts video  369 Aug 13 20:36 config
drwx------  2 hts video  12K Aug 13 20:36 otamux
srwxrwxrwx  1 hts video    0 Aug 13 20:55 pyepg.sock
drwx------  3 hts video 4.0K Oct 25  2012 xmltv

However the xmltv.sock file isn't created, instead you have to go into the webgui and on the "Configuration > Channel/EPG > EPG Grabber" page you need to click Save configation (NOTE The XMLTV socket was already enabled so the only action was to click Save configuration), at which point it changes to

-rwx------  1 hts video  369 Aug 13 20:36 config
drwx------  2 hts video  12K Aug 13 20:36 otamux
srwxrwxrwx  1 hts video    0 Aug 13 20:55 pyepg.sock
drwx------  3 hts video 4.0K Oct 25  2012 xmltv
srwxrwxrwx  1 hts video    0 Aug 13 20:57 xmltv.sock

And the xmltv.sock file is now available for netcatting.
