[mythtv-users] Problem with mythfilldatabase and UK listings

[Jono Bacon]

Hi all,

I am having a nightmare of a time configuring XMLTV for UK listings,
so I really hope you can help. Firstly, this is my box:

 MythTV 0.18.1-5 in Ubuntu Breezy x86 on AMD64
 XMLTV 0.5.40-1ubuntu1

I have a WinTV DVB card in there, although there is no arial hooked up
and I am switching it for a PVR-350 when it arrives on Monday. The DVB
card is not tuned in at all.

So, this is what I do:

 1. run mythtv-setup and clear my card and channel settings. In the
video sources I use the United Kingdom (alternative) which uses
tv_grab_uk_rt and I click Finish. At 50%, I flick to the terminal
window and type 'all' to accept all channels. I then press esc to exit
the setup program and run:

  mythtv at bar:~$ mythfilldatabase

It then gives me the following output:

At this point it seems to have hung, so I press Ctrl-C and it then displays:

------------------ End of XMLTV output ------------------

I am now back at the prompt.

What is wrong with this? My assumption was that there is a problem
with gmtv.co.uk, but when I go to /usr/share/xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt, edit
channel_ids and comment out gmtv.co.uk it throws up a problem with
taste.co.uk.

Can anyone help me with this?

Cheers,

  Jono
