Jelle,
Eventually it worked, it's probably due to my unfamiliarity with mythtv
that it took me quite a while to get it to work.
I observed that the default grabber takes about 10 minutes (from my
chello account) to get an update. Do you think the alternative grabber
may be faster --> just downloading one xmltv file instead of parsing a
number of webpages?
Don't you think it would be a nice idea to add the alternative xmltv
grabber in the drop down list? If I'm not mistaken these grabbers only
seem to impact the following files:
./libs/libmythtv/videosource.cpp
./libs/libmythtv/videosource.h
./programs/mythfilldatabase/filldata.cpp
Thanks & regards,
Stefan van der Eijk
