[mythtv-users] Please help! Can't figure out how to use mythfilldatabase

[Nicklas Svanteson]

Hi,

I can't figure out how to use mythsetup, tv_grab_se (comhem, Sweden) and
mythfilldatabase to populate my database with correct channel info to be
able to watch TV.
Probably I need someone to explain how the different tools relate to each
other.
When I start with a blank database (drop database mythconverg; >> mysql <
/usr/share/mythtv/database/mc.sql) I run mythsetup (I use Gentoo linux).
>From there I do the general config + capture card config. Should I define
a "Video source" here? Do I need to provide channel info or is that done
later when I run mythfilldatabase --manual?
I have been able to create a xml-file with program-info by running
tv_grab_se. How do I use that with mythfilldatabase (mythfilldatabase
--file <source id> <days> <filename> ??) What is <source id>? Is that the
"Video Source" name I have provided in mythsetup or is it an internal
number or something?
I will probably have more questions later when I know what to ask, but
first I think I need some general explanation how the tools are supposed
to work together.

Thanks,
