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

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><br>
</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
English language news) set up via the HLS recorder. In the

<div dir="auto">Can the XMLTV setup handle that and would I have

<p>Schedules Direct xmltv (json service) allows up to 4 lineups at
any one time, you just need to select which lineup to use for each
Videosource during the grabber configuration.</p>
<p>Note you can select either lineups or channels during
configuration. If using channels you have the choice of which
channels , for tv_grab_zz_sdjson the default is "no" as you step
through (so just CR needed, until you get to a channel you want,
then type yes). If using a lineup you get all channels in that
lineup.<br>
