Hi All,

I finally have Freevo 1.9.0 installed and running from SVN. I am now at the
point of trying to get TV working.

I have a working DVBStreamer as I have piped it into VLC and it plays fine,
and I can change the channels by giving
the command "select TV1" etc to DVBStreamer fine .. so my channels.conf file
is fine.

My problem is in Freevo. comming from New Zealand there is not a good way to
get an XMLTV guide. However I did come across the source to tv_grap_dvb
which grabs the guide data in XML format from the currently tuned
transponder .. this seems to work fine, and example of the output is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE tv SYSTEM "xmltv.dtd">
<tv generator-info-name="dvb-epg-gen">

<programme channel="1904.dvb.guide" start="20090616000000 +1200"
stop="20090616060000 +1200">
        <title lang="en">Closedown</title>
</programme>
<programme channel="1935.dvb.guide" start="20090610063000 +1200"
stop="20090610070000 +1200">
        <title lang="en">The Short Black with Murray Sweetpants</title>
        <sub-title lang="en">That guy from the breakfast show plays some
tunesbefore he starts working. Weird</sub-title>
</programme> .... etc

So the entries I placed in TV_CHANNELS in local_conf.py are:
TV_CHANNELS = [('1909.dvb.guide', 'TV ONE',          'TV ONE'),
               ('1036.dvb.guide', 'TV2',             'TV2'),
               ('1038.dvb.guide', 'TVNZ 7',          'TVNZ 7'),
               ('1904.dvb.guide', 'TVNZ 6',          'TVNZ 6'),
               ('1025.dvb.guide', 'Maori TV',        'Maori TV'),
               ('1922.dvb.guide', 'STRATOS',         'STRATOS'),
               ('1923.dvb.guide', 'Parliament TV',   'Parliament TV'),
               ('1925.dvb.guide', 'Te Reo',          'Te Reo'),
               ('1920.dvb.guide', 'TV3',             'TV3'),
               ('1921.dvb.guide', 'C4',              'C4'),
               ('1926.dvb.guide', 'TV3 PLUS1',       'TV3 PLUS1'),
               ('1924.dvb.guide', 'CUE',             'CUE')]

Is this correct, the 1st column is the guide data name, the second the
screen name and the 3rd the name in channels.conf?

For reference my channels.conf is:

Maori TV:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:514:652:0:0
TV ONE:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:515:653:579:0
TV2:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:516:654:580:0
TVNZ 7:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:518:656:582:0
TVNZ SPORT:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:520:658:0:0
TVNZ 6:12483:h:S160.0E:22500:512:650:581:0
STRATOS:12456:h:0:22500:514:652:1922
Parliament TV:12456:h:0:22500:515:653:1923
CUE:12456:h:0:22500:516:654:1924
Te Reo:12456:h:0:22500:517:655:1925
TV3:12456:h:0:22500:512:650:1920
C4:12456:h:0:22500:513:651:1921
TV3 PLUS1:12456:h:0:22500:518:656:1926

However when I run Freevo and try to look at the guide, all I see is the
display name and no data available for the
other fields.

I tried to run the command "freevo tv_grab --query" but all I get is:
TV_CHANNELS = [
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"/home/bmentink/freevo/lib/python2.6/site-packages/freevo/helpers/tv_grab.py",
line 108, in <module>
    print '    ( \'%s\', \'%s\', \'%s\' ) ] ' % chanlist[-1]
IndexError: list index out of range

It doesn't seem to like my TV.xml file.

Anyone have any help on this one?

Thanks,
Bernie
