<div>I don't have a custom script, but I did bang my head against it for a weekend before I got my CentOS 6 environment compiling. I have pulled specific files from multiple different repos, and had to specify some environment variables until it would finally compile. I just figured once I got it working it would be worth it so I could pull and re-compile to test for bugs. Last night was my first re-compile and I did need to run "./configure --qmake=/usr/lib64/qt47/bin/qmake" to tell it which qmake to use.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Looking back, it might have been a good idea to keep notes, a blog, wiki, or something about what I did do. I just assume most people will use the repos that seem to be working now.</div><div><br></div>
<div><br></div><div>So you are saying that importing previous scans doesn't seem to work for you either? I would really like to play around with (or have find an explanation of) the different types of channels and "transports." I just can't possibly spend 2+ hours scanning for each iteration I want to explore.</div>

You make this sound routine. Do you have a custom build script/environment?<div><div class="h5"><br>

In my attempts to understand the channels I think I am seeing a bug in<br>
importing previous channel scans. I'll try and explain what I am doing<br>
and see if anyone knows if this is me or a bug I should file.<br>
<br>
I have a new FiOS setup, and just trying to see what my HDHomerun can<br>
find. When I run mythtv-setup, I find my tuner and do a scan to find<br>
channels. This takes HOURS to run, but at the end it finds channels of<br>
multiple different types (DVB, ATSC, MPEG, etc). It even finds some<br>
"conflicting" channels. Not being 100% sure I added everything it found<br>
to the list. Then I hit the button to fetch from my schedules direct<br>
account, which as I understand it should try and map the XMLID tags to<br>
my channels. I end up with very few channels having XLMID tags and some<br>
that are repeated across multiple channels.<br>
<br>
Not fully understanding what all the different types of channels are, I<br>
decided to delete all channels with the channel editor. This works as<br>
expected, and I was going to just import one type of channel and see<br>
what they are. Instead of scanning, I select to import from a previous<br>
scan. It shows the scan I did just prior and this time I select to<br>
import only the ATSC (the first ones it finds) and deny all the rest. I<br>
even told it to delete XYZ number of "unused" transports. This is where<br>
the bug seems to be through. No matter what I do, nothing is ever<br>
imported from my previous scan. I have tried importing EVERYTHING like<br>
I did after the scan was successful, I have tried only importing some<br>
types, and nothing changes. After doing the "import" the screen is<br>
blank looking and hitting finish and going to the channel editor shows<br>
no channels.<br>

I use dvb-t and importing previous scans seems useless; it doesn't touch the contents of the Transports screen. I know that I need 5 (for SD) or 6 (for HD as well) transports, and I know which they are, and can use the linking mechanism. I can't now enter them from the keyboard but I can delete any that I don't want. I'm in the UK.<br>
<br>
Maybe something in Ticket #10217 will help?<div><div class="h5"><br>

I finally decided last night to try one more full scan. This time I<br>
imported Everything except the conflicting channels. Sure enough the<br>
full scan adds all the channels I asked for, but alas my XLMTV ID's are<br>
still very far from correct. I also avoided importing "conflicting"<br>
channels this last time, so I really don't know if I missed any channels<br>
as I am not really sure what hundreds of "unused" transports,<br>
DVB/ATSC/MPEG/SETC/ etc is telling me.<br>
<br>
I would just play around with this more to try and figure out what all<br>
these things are, but scanning takes multiple hours and it seems that<br>
importing the same scan multiple times is just not working. Between<br>
doing the 2 scans last night, I pulled from git again, did a make dist<br>
clean, and re-compiled and installed my mythtv to try and ensure this<br>
wasn't already fixed. It still wouldn't import, and that is when I did<br>
a second scan to try and get some channel data back.<br>
<br>
So I guess in summary my issues are...<br>
<br>
1) Importing previous scans seems to fail (and costs many hours to re-do)<br>
2) with my FiOS I really don't know what the different types are...<br>
which ones should I import?<br>
3) What are conflicting channels and "unused" transports?<br>
4) How do XMLID tags get matched to Schedules Direct? Matching most my<br>
channels by hand could take a lot of time. Is there some mapping that<br>
others might have found, or if I do this by hand can I somehow keep my<br>
mappings so others can benefit from my time doing it?<br>
<br>
I have a HDHomerun Prime that I will be testing once I feel comfortable<br>
with my HDHomerun and FiOS. I just didn't want to mess with the cable<br>
card and getting that setup until I at least am familiar with the setup<br>
process. It has been a few years since I have run my mythtv at home.<br>
