[mythtv-users] EPG in LiveTV using SVN
I checked out the dev list and didn't see anything about this here, so I thought I would post here before bothering the devs. I recently upgraded from 0.18.1 to svn as of last night. Loading the EPG through schedule recordings takes a REALLY long time to load. I'd say about 15-20 seconds whereas it took about 1 second in 0.18.1. Scrolling to display a new listing also takes a very long time (several seconds). Seems like I'm having a mysql issue, but not sure what that issue might be. Once the record is loaded, I can scroll back to it without an issue and left/right scrolls are fine since the record is loaded for that channel. The bigger issues is watching LiveTV and entering the EPG. It never shows up. It makes frontend peg one of my processors (normally runs VERY low since I use PVR-350's TV-out) and never displays (left it like this for half an hour before I realized I had tried to enter the EPG and it never happened). Once I choose to enter the EPG, I can't do anything else with front end. Won't exit. Just keeps playing LiveTV. So I ssh in, kill the frontend process and I get a black screen that I can't seem to get rid of. At that point, I reboot to get back to where I was. I thought maybe it was a theme issue since I was using ProjectGrayham and GrayOSD which might not contain support for SVN (if additional support is needed?), but I had the same issues using GANT that came with SVN. I have other issues, but these are the ones that don't seem to be solved by install the dependencies, stupid. Still sorting out what I need to get transcoding to work. Any tips on what needs to be loaded for that are appreciated! Thanks, Brad ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] EPG on Video Output of PVR-350
Howdy: I have my setup *mostly* working, my video output is going to my PVR-350 card and looks OK. Most onscreen graphics (like the menu from pressing M, the channel and program info) shows up fine on-screen. Problem is that when I select the Program Guide The main video output dims, and the EPG appears on my regular LCD computer monitor. Is it possible to get the EPG to appear on-screen with the program video? It would seem so since the other graphics display just fine in this mode.. If it matters, system is a Gentoo amd64 running MythTV 0.18.1.

Re: [mythtv-users] EPG on Video Output of PVR-350
Where are you're menus etc. For the 350 the OSD information is drawn directly onto the framebuffer. The EPG however uses the Xserver to display but plays around with the framebuffer alpha values so that you can see the X display and the video. If your menus are appearing on your LCD monitor that would explain why this is happening. The way to run this is to get X running on the 350 and then run Myth so that all the menus appear on the TV then the EPG will appear there as well.

Re: [mythtv-users] EPG Times Off
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Sorry for top-posting and triple-posting, but it looks like I'm still wrong. It seems I've royally fouled things up now. By clearing the program database, making sure my time-zone is set to UTC, and then running mythfilldatabase, then changing my time-zone back to CST, I am able to end up with properly timed program guide FOR TODAY ONLY. All other days are then set six hours off. I am also finding myself with a long list of shows I'd like to record, but all the times are incorrect, so I've been forced to delete them. I am unable to reactivate them with the new recording time. I now need a way to clear them out. I suppose it's also worth mentioning that I'm running KnoppMyth R5A30, and I'm also trying to find the setting to change the recording profiles (Live TV, High Quality, Low Quality, etc) but am unsuccessful so far.

I used to have a similar problem when using mplayer from mythvideo. When the frontend is running there are actually three generations of mythfrontend in the 'ps' tree. The external players get launched from the middle process, and it was common for mplayer to only accept keyboard input for a few seconds, after which the only way to stop it was to kill the xserver using ctl-alt-backspace. I did some testing and discovered that if the external player sends back anything via stderr then the middle mythfrontend process would steal the focus. After that happened, even if I let mplayer go to the end of the file and exit on its own, the foreground mythfrontend *still* wouldn't get the focus. The solution was to edit the external player command line in mythvideo to append /dev/null 21 so that the middle myth wouldn't get any feedback and would therefore not steal the focus. -- When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross. - Sinclair Lewis (1935) ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

It's because the mythfrontend window loses focus, so if you're running it on a desktop then you can click to another window and then back in the mythfrontend window and it will work again. Alternatively, after watching a video in Xine, navigate to the media library and go to recorded programs. Go to any recording and press right to bring up the list of options and you will find that you probably can't select any of them. Press escape and then right again and you should now find that the window has focus and you can select the options again. The EPG in Live TV will also work again now.

[mythtv-users] EPG, Channel Selection, and Multiple Tuners... oh, and Data Sources too!
Hi all, Two questions that have been nagging at me 1) Is there a way to force a tuner change when the user selects a channel in the EPG that isn't available on the current tuner? 2) Is there a way to define a single input source, but only have certain channels from the Input Source assigned to each card? I'm in the US, using Zap2It! as a data provider, and have a situation where I need to use an HD3000 card to pick up the HD stations, but want to use an analog card for everything else (freaking Comcast is encrypting all the digital channels except ETWN and Pennsylvania Cable TV Network). I can't define two data sources as Digital Cable with Zap2It!, so what would be the best way to ensure I have all the guide data? I was thinking of defining another source in the DB, and then just copying over the HD channels from the existing source and marking the originals as invisible Thanks! --Matt ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

If I'm following, that certainly sounds easier than my approach ! Possibly correct but let's clear up some terminology. At Zap2It!, you need two of what they call lineups each with the same provider. For each lineup, you check and uncheck the boxes for the channels you want to have in that set of channels that you are targeting for your inputs. One account can have up to four lineups. You could have one lineup for the Cable provider and one for Digital Cable provider (even though they are the same company ;-). You can not have two lineups for Cable. In the past, some have gotten around this by using a different zipcode and the same provider. However, the last time I tried this it didn't work. Worst case is that you may have to create a second Zap2It! account for your second lineup (for your second video source) using the same zipcode and provider. -- bjm ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

It sounds like you're saying, There is nothing that says you can't use the same source twice, where you actually mean Zap2It lineup instead of source, so you made 4 named video sources in Myth and assigned a different one to each of your inputs. However, the terminology you used is actually more correct than what it seems you're saying--There is nothing that says you can't use the same [MythTV] source twice.

Re: [mythtv-users] EPG, Channel Selection, and Multiple Tuners... oh, and Data Sources too!
For posterity, the way I ended up dealing with this, in the end, was that I added a Zap2It! Lineup for Digital Cable from another Comcast Head End, in a different Zipcode, that had the HD channels I needed on the same channel numbers. It would be nice if this could all be handled internally in Myth... maybe rather than having a Visible flag in the DB, we could have a VisibleOn row, that lists which tuners support the channel. >From the silence on my other question (can the EPG force a tuner change when a channel not present on the current tuner is selected), I will take it that the answer is no.

This happens when you try to get every last bit of data but the last day has some data for most channels but ends earlier on others. This makes it appear that there is a full day's data but there are holes.

Myth tries to get 14 days worth of data. The 14th day is often incomplete because stations provide listings up to midnight in their own timezone. For example, I'm in the PST zone but many of the stations I watch are in the EST zone so the listings stop at 9PM. Other stations don't provide even that much and may run out on day 13 or early on day 14. Each time Myth gets new listings, it looks at the database to determine what it already has and skips any day for which the listings are at least 80% (?) full, on the assumption that the remaining gaps are station off-air times or TBA slots. It also automatically gets the next day or two so that it can catch any late schedule changes, which is why the problem only shows up three days away. The easiest solution is to force mythfilldatabase to only grab 12 or 13 days instead of 14 by changing the mythfilldatabase command in /etc/crond.daily/mythtv-backend from: su mythtv -c mythfilldatabase --quiet to: su mythtv -c mythfilldatabase --quiet --graboptions \--days 13\ That way you are guaranteed to only get days for which a complete schedule exists. Someone else on this list patched mythfilldatabase to use a higher cut-off percentage, but that is only practical if you track the fill ratios of the 13th and 14th days over a period of time, and would break if the lineup was changed. Another possible solution (which I haven't tried) would be to add non-existing channels to your lineup to lower the percentage of coverage in the schedule below the threshold value. You would want to only add them one at a time until the problem went away so that you don't end up grabbing all 14 days worth of schedule every night. I think editing the cron task is the safest and easiest solution. -- Joke template: Three guys walk into a bar.

Microsoft seems to be interested in buying the guide data as opposed to creating their own guide service from scratch (as we have).

In Australia only the now and next information is sent via EIT as the stations have copyrighted the programme guide data that they use. All of the online guides are copyrighted with disclaimers specifically against any use of the data in PVR's. As far as I am aware there is only one legal way to get programme guide data in Australia and this is via us at IceTV. I don't think that's correct. The other way is to use the OzTivo guide data which does not have copyright issues. And it's free, unlike IceTV's data.

Daniel - would you be able to tell us what information is available in the program guide data from IceTV. I think a lot of the info in the Aussie guides is missing compared to what folks in other countries get - eg correct program categories (eg Movie, Current Affairs etc), repeat, classification rating (eg PG, MA etc), subtitles, HD or SD, programids, season etc etc. As the info is free it's understandable that this info is missing. Since IceTV are charging over $150/year for the data it would be nice to know that this information is provided.

Daniel - I trialled the service you sell tonight and here's some feedback for you, and for others in the MythTV community as well. 1) When you sign up and provide an email address the web page doesn't accept email addresses with + signs in them. Many valid email addresses contain a + sign so this seems an odd bit of validation to prevent people from registering with them. 2) There only seems to be program data available for 7 days which is no different from what is already available for free. 3) Programs are not categorised correctly. For example, all movies are marked as such by prepending the word MOVIE: to the movie name. It would be more useful if this was recorded as the category type as MythTV sets this field aside in the database for this type of info. 4) The perl script doesn't allow you to configure what XMLTVIDs you want to use for each channel which is a pain if you're IDs are something different to what the perl script assigns. 5) The web UI doesn't allow you to mark certain channels to NOT download. Eg, I may not want the data for HD channels but it downloads it anyway which then causes it to be uploaded into the MythTV database, even though I don't want these channels in there. 6) The information provided generally seems to be no more than what is already available currently for free. 7) On a more positive note, the download is very fast. My conclusion is that I can't currently see any compelling reason to pay over $150/year for the service as it doesn't seem to provide anything extra than I already get for free.

[mythtv-users] EPG data and the program table
Does anyone have any docco on what the different columns in the program table should be populated with and how htis relates to what's in the XMLTV file? For example, I believe the users in the US get EPG data which populates the program.category_type column with 'Movie' which then lets other apps written for MythTV such as tvwish find programs that are movies. Here in Australia the EPG data is very ordinary for a number of reasons I won't go into here. For example, we have no guide data that allows mythfilldatabase to populate the program.category_type column. However, if we knew what the values are supposed to go into the program table columns then we could write scripts to do some automatic conversions such as converting categoryMovie/category in the XML file to category_typeMovie/category_type. I'm just using category_type as an example. There are lots of others such as programid, syndicatedepisodenumber, showtype, seriesid - hopefully you get my drift. If someone could point to some docco or provide further info on this then that would be extremely helpful for those of us who live in EPG-challenged countries.

[mythtv-users] EPG in Australia?

[mythtv-users] EPG resets to Channel 2
Sometimes when I call up the EPG when watching Live TV, the channel selection box is on Channel 2, even though I have been watching another channel. I have not found a pattern to when this happens versus when it selects the currently active channel, but both behaviors exist. Is there logic for how the EPG first highlights a channel? Is this normal behavior? It would make sense to me for the EPG to have focus on the current channel...

I just got a message from another MythTV user. This seems to be a
common problem in Finland and is not related just to Myth. I don't
have any standalone DVB box, that's why I didn't know that this is a
problem on those, too. Apparently the problem is on the broadcasting
side. PVRs are becoming more common now, so maybe more people notice
this problem. Sorry for bothering the list with this, although it
certainly is good to take into account when tweaking things in MythTV.

[mythtv-users] EPG language confusion
Hello! I'm located in Finland and using the latest atrpms mythtv version. I have one DVB card and I'm using the EPG. Everything works fine but the thing that puzzles me is that sometimes the Program Guide listing is in Finnish and sometimes in Swedish. I would like the EPG to stay in one language only, or at least be consistent and list programs broadcasted in Swedish in Swedish and programs broadcasted in Finnish in Finnish. Currently there is no way to find out which language the program is broadcasted in beacause the EPG has programs listed completely randomly in both languages. This may be a different problem, though. I'm not sure how the standalone DVB boxes work, because I don't have any. I think you can choose the language to be shown in the EPG, though. The mixing of languages in the EPG turns out like this: For instance, I'm recording a show broadcasted in Finnish that sometimes comes once a day, sometimes two episodes. One day the first episode was listed in Finnish in the EPG and the second episode of the day in Swedish. The smaller channels seem to stay in Finnish but the national channels all have mixed up Finnish and Swedish randomly in the EPG. I have my Myth set to Swedish language. I even tried changing the system language from English to Swedish (LANG=sv_FI.UTF-8) but it didn't matter. X locale is set to Finland Swedish. The real problem is that I always have to have two schedules to get every episode of a show recorded. If I mark a show that is listed in Finnish it won't record the next episode if it is listed in Swedish. So I have to find episodes listed in both languages and mark them to be recorded. Then in Recorded Programs the show is listed in two places, under the Finnish name and under the Swedish name, which is also a bit annoying. Has anyone experienced this? regards, Johan ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] epg data and channel listing mismatch
Thanks for your reply, Ray. If you look closely, you will see that the scanned channel number is 91 and the EPG channel number is 9_1. I think that's why mythfilldatabase could not associate them. actually the channum ( in this case 91 ) can be changed during mythtv-setup. Unofrutnately, this will not solve the problem. It still creates an additional entry. Now that you have both sets of channels, I think the easiest thing to do is to look at all the EPG channels, and write down the XMLID for each one. Then, in mythtv-setup, select Channel Editor, and set the XMLID for each of the scanned channels. Also, change the channel number to match the scanned number.

Just a small correction it is xmltvid not xmlid and it isn't a workaround but the way it is meant to be done. What you are doing wrong is not associating the channels with the guide data grabbed from the Radiotimes site. Now I am being lazy because I won't bother to explain how to set this up yet. It might not be what you want anyway. If your first email you talk about the EPG and then talk about the Radiotimes grabber. Well there is a common source of confusion here so I'll briefly explain. With DVB some channel listings are sent 'on the air' (OTA) and this is _generally_ referred to as the EPG (Electronic Program Guide). The Radiotimes grabber is an alternative to the OTA EPG, it fetches data from the radiotimes website instead. If you use one then usually you don't want the other. The RT grabber provides slightly better but longer program descriptions, full reviews for films and provides 14 days data at a time. The OTA EPG provides just 7 days data but doesn't need the computer to be internet connected. If you can tell me which guide source you would like to use I'll provide a setup guide for each one. The OTA EPG should be easier to setup. -- Stuart Morgan ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

As you see, i have the complete last if statement commented out. On
Astra this makes things work (at least for german and austrian channels.
I have not yet tested the others, will do after i have a CI module). May
well be the same on hotbird.

When watching live TV, normal behavior is that when I enter the program guide, it will open with the channel I am watching selected. But, when I'm on some channels, the current channel isn't selected and the guide starts on channel 1. It's always the same channels that have this problem, but I can't figure out what they have in common. I went into mythtv-setup and deleted channel info and reconfigured it, but no change. Any ideas on how to get the EPG to always open with the current channel highlighted?

[mythtv-users] EPG Program Guide
Hi, is it possible to get the program guide (in MythTV and Mythweb) working with EPG? I don't want to use xmltv to get program informations, I'd like to use EPG which is automatically available... Thank you very much! Bye Mattia. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

EPG seems to work fine with DVB, with the version 0.18.1 Br, Esa ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] EPG data from DVB(-T)
It's very high on the todo list. Just join #dvb and you'll meet all the DVB devs there.

Yes it is transmitted. It is certainly useful but inferior to the data available from the Radiotimes website. The radiotimes covers 14 days vs 7 days for the broadcast EPG. The broadcast EPG also lacks ratings/reviews for films and category data. Overall the program descriptions available from the Radiotimes xmltv grabber are better too. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I may yet switch to DVB-EPG data on one of my backends - especially if they improve the quality of the information available in the UK. -- Stuart Morgan ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

In the UK at least there's no need, afaik the full EPG is broadcast on all 6 multiplexes.
