Re: [Freevo-users] stationlist.xml
Hii have tried to put the file stationlist.xml read only but it comes equally rewritten. I have tried to put the directory /root/.tvtime read only and freevo crash. :( I am deprived of hope...

How ? thanks snip Hi, I've attached it again to this email. You might be able to just replace your tvtime.py but as I mentioned my version is quite old, from freevo-1.5.1 maybe so depending on what version you are running there could be issues. Back up your tvtime.py and try out this one. To use it I guess you'll have to at least change the line 'if config.CHANLIST ==ireland:' That will have to match whatever you have in your /etc/freevo/freevo.conf file from what I remember.

My immediate solution was to make the file read only but this wasn't 100% effective, as a persistent piece of code will delete and rewrite the file, which is then read-write again, and freevo gives me 'no signal' again when I want to watch tv; so now I've made /home/tv/.tvtime directory read only. I found in the changelog Release 1.4.0-rc2 (2003-11-02): --- * Added a playlist plugin * TvTime plugin redo: use new childthread writes tvtime.xml to keep in sync with freevo channels writes stationlist.xml to keep in sync with freevo channels merges stationlist.xml and tvtime.xml if they exist already set tvtime xml parameters if you have 0.9.10 or newer added support for custom tuned channels using FREQUENCY_TABLE but I don't know what this was intended to fix it certainly breaks my tv tuning which uses custom frequency table in tvtime; setting it to USCable, and removing the frequencies set, putting in channel numbers. my tvtime.xml doesn't contain these numbers, nor US-Cable so I don't know from where these numbers come Coming back to this, this worked for 'machine A' but this hack does not work for 'machine B' ostensibly running the same freevo version, but a gentoo ebuild rather than debian. Can anyone point me to somewhere I can remove this functionality? I don't want my tvtime/stationlist.xml overwritten because it sets the stations to 0,1,2,3 instead of 9,11, 28,31 and this simply results in no signal. And even setting the owner of the ./tvtime directory to root and removing write access won't stop the writing of a new stationlist.xml file.
