[mythtv] XMLTV Spanish, gist, DVB & localization

[bertusmedia at hotmail.com]

Bon treball!

M'agrade veure que ja gent que esta fent servi aquest projecta a Catalunya!  

[Good Job!!   I like to see that there is people using this project at Catalonia!]

About merging DVB and Myth it is provably a good idea...but I don't think any "real company" here supports DVB not even Direct TV.  I'am a DirecTv user and I don't know the details about there digital signal, but their regular stuff is DSS...nothing to do with DVB.

I know that some people here (USA) use DVB but they tap from Europeans satellite

This is a list of channels that you can get using DVB in the US:   http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Channels/Channels.htm 

As you can see this is far from what a DirecTV offers you unless you are interested in getting some onternational channels.

It would certainly be cool for most of Europe...but the US (just like with GSM....has its own cra...  well I better shut at this point    ;-)   )

Cheers!

Ps:  Please, some other more techy and saavy people should correct me if I'm wrong!

  Subject: [mythtv] XMLTV Spanish, gist, DVB & localization


  I've patched the attached files in order to support the Spanish xmltv graber that I wrote at the xmltv project and it's available since version 0.5.9.

  Notes:
  -the recently added gist source seems to introduce a new requirement to compile from previous versions: qt 3., if is not there fails when calling toTime_t, this functiona was not present on qt 3.0

  I've also seen at the CVS the i18n directory. I'm thinking on working for localization mythTV for Spanish and Catalan. I'm wondering if anybody is working already on it. In the meantime, I would appreciate if somebody can give me a clue or point to a how-to doc (i18n for idiots?) since I never did it before. Just for doing it in the correct way. 

  I'm also interested in to merge analog tv, which MythTV does pretty well, with DVB (projects like vdr do very well) therefore have a single frontend for all. That would be nice in Europe, and probably to bring a better support for US DirectTV also. I thought that adding a "plugin" to MythTV that works in a similar way as kvdr does, that could be quite simple, although the best way should be, of course, direct support for DVB capture cards at the mythtv player.... comments welcome!
