Re: [Freevo-users] [freevo-users] ok I'm a complete newbie...quick help?
Hello Steven, the answer is yes: what is needed by Freevo is a well-formed channel list among other things. But putting John Doe inside every xmltvid's or simplier will make the freevo working, but without tv guide. In the future you can complete the tv guide configuration when you have grabbed enough information. Pirlouwi.

The freevo docs say, *XMLTV is a vital component providing the TV guide and must be correctly configured before you continue*. Is this still true, must I have XMLTV configured, even though it will no longer be able to successfully retrieve listings? Suppose I don't care about the tv guide feature? 2. Now I'm following along with doc.freevo.org/AnalogueGen . My freevo.conf file is setup the way it should be. The last step then is configuring the tv channel list. In it, you need to specify as one of the parameters for each channel, the 'xmltvid'. Taking my first question into consideration, does it matter what I enter into that field? Can I enter fake data and not have anything crash? (I have not yet done channel configuration but I'll try it tonight) Thanks again for putting up with me, Steven On Nov 9, 2007 12:59 AM, Pirlouwi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Good Morning Steven, may I suggest you to have some look at the Freevo Wiki documentation? http://doc.freevo.org/TVConfig http://doc.freevo.org/Recordserver have a good reading, and if you answer back with more accurate issues, you will gain time by receiving more accurate responses.
