Re: [Freevo-users] time data did not match format
Thanks Elizabeth I'm definitely no guru, so I think for the time being I'll just have to stick to the manual programming, not that that's too much of an issue!

I gotta say that the wiki is not as informative to a novice as an experienced user might think. I spent about three hours on it last night, but never found a mention of tvtime. I saw it in local_conf.py, but I couldn't determine what it was for. mplayer works fine on my system. I can use it to view TV directly with `mplayer /dev/cxm0` ... I just can't change channels, 'cause mplayer won't let go the device when I'm switching channels... Not so bad, I guess. Just I'm thinking that freevo is a more complete solution. At least it looks that way. When I press Enter on the Freevo gui, while looking at the guide, I get mostly nothing. If I run it from a shell, I can see this: (22, 'Invalid argument') ... but ... I don't know what that is about. What is the right plugin? Can I download that from somewhere? Is it called that? right? Or am I misinterpreting? I figure from local_conf.py that I can activate and deactivate plugins, I just don't know what plugin is required to view tv ... seems kinda weird that I need to enable a plugin to view TV on an application that is designed to view tv ... maybe it's just me being a novice, and all ... maybe it's late (again) and I should work on these things when I have 8 or more hours to play ... Anyway ... thanks for responding. I thought the list was inactive at first ... and now I see a flurry of activity. Maybe I'll catch a clue over the next couple of days :) later On Tue, 2005-02-22 at 15:17 -0600, Lane wrote: Can Freevo show real-time tv? If so, how do you make that work?

[Freevo-users] inscrutible TV_CHANNELS ...
Hi,
I've just downloaded and installed freevo.
It looks like a fine project ... only one thing why in the heck doesn't
it scan the tuner for channels? What is this TV_CHANNELS variable all about?
I looked at the wiki ... for hours, it seems ... but I still haven't figured
that out, and I haven't been able to view a single channel in freevo
(although I can use mplayer to view tuner channels, just fine). And it seems
I'm able to do simple things like view MPG files with freevo.
I've installed xmltv and downloaded the listing to /var/db/freevo/TV.xml,
but ... I guess this is not usable by freevo? Help me out here ... the
project knows all the channels, if it can read TV.xml, right? So why can't I
just watch a channel in the listing?
The wiki page at http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/DVBConfig seems ...
incomplete ... at best. The text refers to The first line of the
TV_CHANNELS variable, but it clearly should refer to the columns of data, NOT
lines.
Well, maybe not clearly. I have never set it up, and the author apparently
has, so I'm probably wrong.
I *get* that TV_CHANNELS has three columns of data. What I don't get is WHERE
that data comes from. It seems like the SECOND column of data is the
friendly-name that freevo will use on the GUI. And I'm guessing that the
first column somehow comes from TV.xml ... but ... what element? That's a
pretty big file, you know? Some help, here? And whereinaheck does the third
piece come from?
The example in local_conf.py says:
#The TV_CHANNELS-list can look like this:
#
# TV_CHANNELS = [('21', 'SVT1', 'E5'),
#('22', 'SVT2', 'E3'),
#('26', 'TV3', 'E10'),
#('27', 'TV4', 'E6'),
#('10', 'Kanal 5', 'E7'),
#('60', 'Fox Kids', 'E8', ('1234567','0600','1659')),
#('16', 'TV6', 'E8', ('1234567','1700','2359'),
# ('1234567','','0300')),
#('14', 'MTV Europe','E11') ]
So ... 21 is the channel number? SVT1 is the friendly display name?
Whatinaheck is 'E5'?
I get this from TV.xml
channel id=I12508.labs.zap2it.com
display-name228 MAXP/display-name
display-name228 MAXP AL01494:X/display-name
display-name228/display-name
display-nameMAXP/display-name
display-nameCineMAX (Pacific)/display-name
display-namePAY/display-name
/channel
So ... should TV_CHANNELS look like:
TV_CHANNELS = [('I12508.labs.zap2it.com','228','whatinaheckgoeshere?')]
A link; a manual to read; a script to parse TV.xml into something useful; hey,
throw me a bone, here!
Thanks,
lane

Re: [Freevo-users] inscrutible TV_CHANNELS ...
Ok. One more question: Is it possible, with freevo, to watch TV that is
currently airing? I mean ... do I have to record everything and then watch
it later? Or can I just Watch TV?

Whoops!
Nevermind.
XMLTV_FILE was the answer.
Hey! Nice project you guys got!
Thanks!
