I recently installed Mythtv .16 on Fedora Core 2 and
I've run into a
problem filling the database using mythfilldatabase
--file. I installed
and filled that database initially while on a
broadband connection.
My myth box is currently offline and will be for the
next couple months.
Where it is there isn't a phone jack or any way for it
to get online. I
dug around and found there's a way to populate the
database with a
preformatted .xml file. I subscribe to Zap2it's
service and used the
win32 xmltv grabber tv_grab_na_dd and ran this
command:
xmltv.exe tv_grab_na_dd --output listings.xml
This gives me a 12.6mb xml file that looks good. I
took it back to my
myth box and ran:
mythfilldatabase --file 1 -1 listings.xml
After running for a few seconds it write this message
to my console:
### bypassing grabbers, reading directly from file
Don't use tv_grab_na_dd, use the internal datadirect
grabber.
The mythfilldatabase status in mythfrontend stays at
"currently running"
and the guide data doesn't reflect a change. I've dug
around on the web
and haven't found any fix. I know I'm using the
correct sourceid and I
don't believe I need the --old-chan-id switch either
from looking at my
database. I also have a laptop loaded with Fedora if I
need to use the
linux tools to accomplish this.
