MythTV - program guide info
Those of you who use MythTV, what script/process do you use to download program guide information? I'm using a script I found more than 1 year ago that attempts to use yahoo guide data. Unfortunately it is incomplete in terms of the channels for which it has guides and sometimes it is incorrect. -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

Putting this back on the list for all to benefit from :) On Thu, 2008-06-05 at 02:52 -0700, Slawek Drabot wrote: You'll have to elaborate here as I'm not good with acronyms. EIT - Event Information Table - see http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/EIT btw. the script is not buggy, it's just that the guide it downloads sometimes does not match (in a few instances) the actual program. Probably an issue with Yahoo and their guide. Or the wrong information is supplied by the networks.

Myth TV Back-end on my file server
This talk of MythTV has reignited my interest in setting up a MythTV system at home. Before I dive in though I was wondering if anyone has had any experience, or knows if it's possible, to set-up the MythTV back-end on a headless Ubuntu file server?

It is possible, but I haven't tried this on an existing ubuntu server, but this should work fine* sudo apt-get install mythtv-backend-master I currently run an (almost) silent front+backend mythbuntu box in the lounge room, which stores everything on my NAS. I hope to add a front end in my office when I get the time to connect it up. For now totem seems to work pretty well as a client.

I think you need an X session or something so that you can run the myth-setup program which is QT. One you have done the initial setup, you can go headless I believe.

Re: msi file
Ah, we're almost there! That error occurs when you're in the wrong directory. Make sure commsecpro.msi is in your home(~) directory. i.e. When you open Places Home Folder you should see commsecpro.msi listed there. Open the terminal application. It should start in you home directory but just to check your in the right directory you can type: [CODE] ls commsecpro.msi [/CODE] should print out commsecpro.msi on the next line. This means you're in the correct directory. If it results in ls: cannot access commsecpro.msi: No such file or directory you're in the wrong directory and you'll need to cd to the correct one. Once you're in the correct directory try running [CODE] msiexec -i commsecpro.msi [/CODE] again. Once installed it doesn't seem to create an item in the wine menu so you can either navigate to the installation folder and double-click on CommSecPro.exe or edit the menu with the gnome menu editor. /*People installing can safely ignore this extended para...** My apologies Alex Fuller, you were perfectly correct, there is no glue between wine and mono at all. Though it is on the drawing board. By double-clicking on CommSecPro.exe mono executes the application completely independent of wine. Although the installer does seem to depend on wine libraries (winforms), I am unsure how far the interaction goes here. I was also incorrect in assuming dotnetfx.exe was an arbitrary part of Microsoft's .NET implementation. It is in fact the installer for version 1.1 of .NET I did try using this through wine but the installation was _VERY_ dirty and running CommSecPro.exe in this environment produced limited results as compared with running it under mono. ***/ I am encountering a problem with network connection now though, I suspect the problem lies with CommSecPro but, not being a member myself I cannot ask for technical support. Look forward to hearing how you went.
