Relatively simple question: Do I understand
correctly that, when I upgrade <br>
my setup to V0.31 , I will need to go through the
manual steps outlined in <br>
<a
href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/XMLTV#Schedules_Direct_Setup"
rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/XMLTV#Schedules_Direct_Setup</a>
to enable the <br>
Schedules Direct XMLTV ? Obtain the grabbers, run
from command line, this <br>
isn't included in the packaging (Fedora / RPM
Fusion) or mythtvsetup as of <br>
yet ?<br>
<br>
There is no judgement intended, I just want to know
how much time to <br>
schedule around the upgrade. Thank you for all the
hard work you do !<br>

<div>In my opinion, The instructions at the top of the
Mythtv XMLTV page is accurate as to installing the
things needed for XMLTV, certainly for Ubuntu/Debian
based systems. If your Distro doesn't have some old
version of XMLTV available as a package, then you
may have a lot of perl packages that are required to
be installed. Manually installing all of XMLTV from
the git is easy, except if you have to get all those
little Perl pieces together. I'd set aside 30
minutes for all the googling you'll need to do the
find your distro's package for the perl lib you're
missing. Git readme should help.</div>

</div>
<div>Next I'd use tv_grab_xx_sdjson_sqlite. It seems
to be very flexible and for me easy. The time
consuming part is yes/no on each of the channels you
want for your Zipcode. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>THE KEY is to do all the XMLTV setup stuff as
user 'mythtv'</div>

<div dir="auto">I have a couple of channels (Bloomberg, France24

<p>I have done this before when one of my HDHR tuners didn't pickup
a few channels. I created 2 databases on XMLTV with different
names and then selected which channels schedules went into which
database. then I created 2 video sources in mythtv to match those
2 names. Input Connections were setup to match the video source to
which tuner.</p>
