Bug#404930: gshowtv: no channels downloads, and no watching possible
Hi! I just got back from holidays and I can comment on the issues mentioned on the bug report. First of all, gshowtv is not an application for viewing live tv. It's purpose is to provide information on scheduling of programmes, and to integrate into a pvr of choice. (Mythtv, vdr, freevo at al.) For the schedule information gshowtv uses xmltv. The usage of the xmltv system is somewhat complicated (for average user) and to ease the task of configuring the xmltv grabbers an xmltv druid is included. It should be "usable". If there are problems in configuring the xmltv system, I'd very much like to hear about the specific issues. The loading of the tv programme schedule data is done by xmltv and it indeed takes ages. Depending on the network connection, the region, and on the amount of channels, it may take an hour or more. This is why the task is performed by cron. The initial download of data when the user starts the application can be performed via the druid and it also takes as long time as the task run by cron. These are all more or less issues related to the xmltv program and not to gshowtv. However, I'd like to hear more precisely from Patrick on what he found difficult in gshowtv and in trying out the program in order to improve on the user experience. Best regards, Petri Väkeväinen

Package: gshowtv Version: 1.0.3-1 Severity: important Hi, It is just to say that gshowtv is rather unusable. It is quite difficult to make it work. There is no possibiltiies to watch the channels or programs if it works. there is apparently no access to the tv. Tvtime works great but cannot record. The downloading of programs takes ages and hangs. Please could you too contact me [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you would like further information or would like to progress on the program.
