Everything is a Freaking DNS problem - xmltv http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/taxonomy/term/1069/0 en MythTV Broken again :( http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/node/748 <p>The <a href="http://www.krisbuytaert.be/blog/node/743">earlier posted</a> fix , getting my data from mythportal seemed to be a temporary solution.</p> <p>It also seems the solution that was mentioned at <a href="http://kristof.vanhertum.be/?p=80" rel="nofollow">Kristof Vanhertum's blog</a> , the agent fix doesn't work anymore either.</p> <p>Somewhere in the comments of that post however people start referring to <a href="http://mc2xml.110mb.com/" rel="nofollow">mc2xml</a> a tool to get your info (even 14 days worth of it) from a really untrustworthy source and import it amongst other tools into MythTV </p> <p>No source code to be found, just a binary .. something that always scares me .. But running the thing (first time as a dummy empty user, one never knows) actually seems to give me an XML file with relevant data , to be used by mythfilldatabase.</p> <p><div class="geshifilter"><pre class="text geshifilter-text" style="font-family:monospace;"><ol><li style="font-family: monospace;

Different postcode values will give you other alternatives such as Coditel/Integan .. so you better use the right one.</p> <p>I`m not really satisfied however, it fails to recognize my already defined channels. So I seem to have something that at first sight looks like relevant data . Only my channel numbers are way way way off .. </p> <p>I need to fix that asap. The only problem being that tomorrow it's <a href="http://www.geekdinnerr.be/" rel="nofollow">Geekdinner</a> and I`ll be spending the rest of the weekend at <a href="http://t-dose.org/" rel="nofollow">T-Dose</a> hence I have no time to fix this anymore ... </p> <p>Anyone got a quick fix for that ? Or will I just have to live with a weekend of non-recordings ? :) </p> <p>Well.. maybe next week will be a productive one then :)</p> http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/node/748#comments mc2xml mythtv opensource pygrab xmltv Thu, 23 Oct 2008 21:01:11 +0000 Kris Buytaert 748 at http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog
