Hi =
MythTV=20
users,
I am =
new to MythTV=20
and now this list. I had in mind for sometime to setup a =
MythTV=20
server (with frontend) and a couple of other frontends around the =
house. =20
So a couple of weeks ago I got myself a Athlon box with PVR-500 and =
nVidia=20
GeForce 6600 card (my big TV can take DVI) and 250GB Sata2=20
drive.
I =
downloaded=20
Knoppmyth R5C7 and started the install process. After working =
through the=20
issues of getting the sata drive to work and obtaining a listings.xml =
(sydog) I=20
have struck a snag.
I =
can't get the=20
mythtv app to tune a station. I just get static. But the =
interesting=20
thing is that mplayer works fine on both /video0 and /video1. =
After=20
spending a couple of nights looking through the lists, I can't find the=20
answer.
Can =
anybody=20
help?
I'm =
still using a=20
monitor instead of TV, and haven't got the MCEUSB remote (RC6) that came =
with=20
the PVR-500 working yet, but have seen list help for =
these.

Simon
I've been looking into the missing =
category=20
situation with DVB EPG stuff.
It appears the categories are actually =
in the=20
stream as I think David pointed out in an earlier post.
The issue appears to be the way =
tv_grab_dvd is=20
working the data.
I think i've narrowed it down to the=20
parseContentDescription function but i'm not a C expert so can only =
follow the=20
logic.
As those who use it know, you get the =
following=20
entries in the output xml...
=20
<!--Unknown_Please_Report ID=3D"55" Len=3D"4"=20
-->
=20 <!--Unknown_Please_Report ID=3D"5f" Len=3D"4" --> My guess is that either 55 or 5f hold =
the category=20
data but that this ID isn't defined or setup correctly in tv_grab_dvb as =
category data?
here is =
parseContentDescription:
void =
parseContentDescription(descr_content_t=20
*dc)
{ int=20 c1,c2; int=20 i; for=20 (i=3D0;i<(dc->descriptor_length);i+=3D2)  = ; =20 { &n= bsp; =20 nibble_content_t=20 *nc=3DCastContentNibble((char*)dc+DESCR_CONTENT_LEN+i); &n= bsp; &nb= sp;=20 c1=3D((nc->content_nibble_level_1<<4)+(nc->content_nibble_lev= el_2)); &n= bsp; =20 c2=3D((nc->user_nibble_1<<4)+(nc->user_nibble_2)); &= nbsp; &n= bsp; =20 if (c1>0) = printf("\t<category>%s</category>\n",lookup((struct=20 lookup_table*)&description_table,c1)); &nb= sp; =20 // This is weird in the uk, they use user but not content, and almost = the same=20 values &nb= sp; =20 if (c2>0) = printf("\t<category>%s</category>\n",lookup((struct=20 lookup_table*)&description_table,c2)); &nb= sp; =20 } } Anyone have any ideas on=20
this?

I've been slowly getting my own Myth box up and running on a FC5 box for a short while and need some help on getting Revens xmlTVNZ to work. I can get it successfully working on a M$ XP box and have been able to import its resulting xml file fine. (mythweb works so much better than the Sky Guide ;) Anyway when I try to run it, I get the following dump. If I dont have any options (i.e. just run 'mono xmlTVNZ.exe' it runs fine, although not doing anything, as expected. Does anybody have any light to shed on this at all?

There is only one of Mono. Thank you for the clarification. I think I was confused by the 2 gentoo packages, mono from http://www.go-mono.com/ and monodevelop from http://www.monodevelop.com/ > > It's not in Debian yet, so check out http://pkg-mono.alioth.debian.org/ - > there are backports for Sarge at backports.org, but I assume knoppmyth comes > from unstable sources. > > I believe Mono will be available in Etch; it is available in Ubuntu as well, > but that doesn't help you much with KnoppMyth. There are certainly mono packages in testing or unstable, but there were a confusing number of things with "mono" in the name. I think I will leave xmlTVNZ to run on my work gentoo server, which can then serve a gzipped tv.xml file to my home myth box. When i get around to it. BTW I have hound that the tv3 flag to xmlTVNZ has crashed it in the past, the solution was to use sky_tv3 -- Nick Rout
