on Ubuntu 16.04 I just installed xmltv using apt and I got a lot of
tv_grabber, but not the tv_grab_zz_sdjson ones. Do I need to
install the xmltv from the debian repository??<span class="m_-2730072724370619050gmail-m_5034445131045000767m_-3149098714748662159gmail-"></span><br>

<div>You need to clone this Git repo: <a href="https://github.com/garybuhrmaster/tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite" target="_blank">https://github.com/garybuhrmas<wbr>ter/tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite</a><br>
<br>

<div>If you don't have git installed, you'll need to install
that as well.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>sudo apt-get install git<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I had to copy the files from the cloned repo to
/usr/bin. They are then seen by mythtv-setup. You could
just browse the files on the webpage and copy and paste
the content yourself but you lose the ability to easily
update when Gary updates his code.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>If you're in the repo you've cloned, you can just<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>git pull<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>and get the new content when it comes down the pike.
There is a hell of a lot of detail to Git but that will
get you the files you need.<br>

Okay, I cloned the git and now have the right commands in /usr/bin.
I first tried to run the --info to see if it was installed right but
I got errors. Are there other things to do first??<br>
<br>
tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite --info<br>

The files get put in the currrent user's home directory so this is important.<br><br></div><div>If you do this as a different user, you can try to copy the relevant folder (~/.xmltv) to your mythbackend user's home directory, but it's easy to make a mistake there. You can try it though. 'sudo cp -R ~/.xmltv /<mythtv_home_dir>/'. Be sure to 'chown -R mythtv:mythtv .xmltv' (or whatever user it happens to be in Ubuntu) If in doubt where that home directory is, you can check the user's entry in /etc/passwd.<br><br></div><div>This is the sort of thing that I like to try but it's really safer to do it the right way and just log in as the mythtv user. It will probably save you time in the long run. I happen to have a password for the mythtv user. I finally just set a password for the mythtv user because I have to log in as
that user a lot. 'sudo passwd mythtv' will do that for you. And you may have to add a shell for him in /etc/passwd. Then you can just 'su - mythtv' and login. Again, I don't know the way that Ubuntu is set up.<br><br>Sorry if this is too simplistic.<br><br></div><div>Running 'su - mythtv -c '/usr/bin/tv_grab_zz_sdjson_<wbr>sqlite' may do the trick if you don't have a password for mythtv.<br></div></div></div></div>
