I know it can be made to work with linux, so I presume it can be made to work with sky boxes. Jarod's howto describes how to get it working with linux IIRC.

Doesn't seem to be doing much in my setup. The movies end up with a long integer after running the imdb.pl script, but mythweb does not recognize it as a category and neither does the frontend filter. Mythvideo has it's own genres in the table videogenre and that is what I'm using now to categorize my series when importing (custom perl script). But I had to patch the mythweb-video handler.php script to be able to filter on it with mythweb (as that normally uses the category field instead of the videometadatagenre table). Now I'm wondering if I'm completely missing the point of the original design... Thanks Bert __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

At the moment, I'm looking into creating a HTPC. Today has revealed that it'll be a bit more complicated (isn't it always?) than those flashy American guides would suggest. Initially I thought perhaps a pair of PVR-150 cards in a hot-box with a distinctly not-hot gfx card, but I don't know whether the Sky satellite dish will hook into the 150. Does anyone know what TV tuner cards support feeds from the average SkyTV satellite dish? As I said, I'm new to all this, so I'll probably sit in lurk mode for a bit.

Hi Allan Welcome to the list. Yes 150 will work fine with Sky, suggest you start with one only first until you have got the hang of it otherwise things can get confusing. I'd highly recommend you start with Knoppmyth as its quick and easy to get back up and running when something goes wrong. Check out the knoppmyth wiki here http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=NZMythConfig And download from here http://www.mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html You will need a serial port based IR Led in order to change the channel on the Sky Box, there are links at the above knoppmyth page to get you going but you can get the parts from dick smith or jaycar and make one in 10 minutes (although getting it to work properly will probably take you considerably longer).

Erm, the Sky box wasn't what I meant, I want to hook the cable from the dish straight into the computer so, as well as the free to air channels (we only have Sky for the FTA stuff, can't afford the Sky channels but can't stand the old aerial any more), I can get the other free to air satellite stuff. From what I understand, the 150 is an analog tuner, while I need a digital one for the satellite dish?

Only One and TV2 (plus NasaTV and DWTV) are available via a DVB-S card (which you'd connect to the Sky Sat Dish via an aerial splitter). You may want to get a PVR150 (or any analog card) and connect it via S-Video to your Sky Decoder. That will get you One, TV2, TV3 and C4 and I think Prime. So you may want to get a DVB-S and a PVR150 card. Plus a IR Blaster so your Myth box can change the channel on the Sky box. - Wade From mythtvnz@lists.linuxnut.co.nz Fri Mar 17 04:26:29 2006 From: mythtvnz@lists.linuxnut.co.nz (Robert Fisher) Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2006 17:26:29 +1300 Subject: [mythtvnz] Problems with the Ontv episode guide information In-Reply-To: <200603071958.15468.robert@fisher.net.nz> References: <440CF6BE.4030105@stevencherie.net> <200603071958.15468.robert@fisher.net.nz> Message-ID: <200603171726.29688.robert@fisher.net.nz> On Tue, 07 Mar 2006 7:58 pm, Robert Fisher wrote: > On Tue, 07 Mar 2006 3:58 pm, Steven Ellis wrote: > > Anyone else noticed this is now missing TV2's information?

You should be able to work it so that it only maps your keyboard for Mythtv and doesn't affect other apps (someone correct me if I'm wrong). I don't have a keyboard plugged in so it isn't an issue. nb 0.19 has a very nice virtual keyboard for typing things into myth that you can navigate with the remote.

I'm from New Plymouth, and just joined the list. I feel I should introduce myself... My name is James, and my system is a Sempron 2200 with 256MB of RAM, and a Single Hauppauge PVR-150 TV tuner. I run MythTV 0.19 on Slackware 10.2. This setup has been running quite nicely (though I wouldn't mind a second tuner), although I am having issues where the LiveTV freezes at the end of a program, which fixes itself if I change channels... Anyways, after seeing various ways of getting XMLTV EPG data into mythtv, I thought there might be a nicer way to do it, so I have created a patch for mythtv - http://stereocassettedeck.port5.com/other/mythtv-0.19-ontv.patch, which adds an option to use tv_grab_nz_ontv to the mythtv-setup program. For those of you that compile mythtv from source, this may not be worthwhile on an already functioning mythtv system, but if you need to set up another system in future, this is a somewhat nicer way of doing things than say... symlinking tv_grab_au to tv_grab_nz_* or manually downloading and importing the listings.

Cool thanks for that! However the consensus here is that ontv is a little bit unstable, and that hairy.geek.nz has much better and more reliable data, as well as lots more channels. -- Criggie From mythtvnz@lists.linuxnut.co.nz Tue Mar 28 23:10:20 2006 From: mythtvnz@lists.linuxnut.co.nz (Craig Box) Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2006 10:10:20 +1200 Subject: [mythtvnz] Greetings In-Reply-To: <53317.202.0.37.196.1143579946.squirrel@202.0.42.116> Message-ID: <000001c652b4$677e28f0$0202fea9@itpartners.co.nz> > However the consensus here is that ontv is a little bit unstable, and > that hairy.geek.nz has much better and more reliable data, as well as > lots more channels. It would be nice if there was an 'improved' DVB feed, just for the FTA channels, using channel names for XMLTV IDs instead of the DVB service IDs.

What I'd quite like is something to listen to the EIT constantly, and push the data into a database, then something which generates selected packages with the format you want.

When you think about it, it'd cut down on traffic a lot and it saves setting up mythfilldatabase. Would have to have consistent uptime though. Anyone think this is possible or am I just plucking? Oh, I should've introduced myself as well a few weeks ago. I'm Sam Hadley-Jones from Palmerston North (currently). I've been running a KnoppMyth based mythbox for about a year now on a Shuttle SK43G just for the media library. This week has seen a major upgrade with a new nvidia 6600, PVR-150, shuttle remote (PN31) and an extra 250GB SATA Seagate drive. The drive was DOA though so it's being returned - that's the second time I've had that happen from Super Cheap PC. Lesson learned - if you're planning on an upgrade path for storage, start out installing LVM, otherwise it's a nightmare if you don't have access to other storage to swap partitions around on. Does anyone else use torrents for grabbing US TV episodes? Currently I'm just using (screened) btdownloadheadless which works well but a bit awkward for adding torrents. Was thinking about making a web GUI in PHP so I can add torrents while I'm procrastinating at work :) . Has this already been done? Sam.

Anyone > think this is possible or am I just plucking? Do you mean that whenever we brought up the EPG im myth it would go offsite to a cntralised mysql server? The difficulties IMHO outweigh the advantages: 1. speed (or lack thereof) 2. everything in mythtv is stored in the mysql database, not just the EPG. I don't think there is currently any way of saying to mythtv "look up my local network settings on localhost, but look up the epg on another server". 3. uptime of both your own internet connection (adsl up and down all the time at my place), and the server's 4. single point of failure. OTOH if you are talking about synchronising a central mysql server with your local box, that still has problems. In fact it is the reason the xmltv format was invented I guess. mr.geek had a simple script that downloaded either the full sky listing, or just the FTA stuff. It cannot be that hard. If you want a system that is fully configurable as to channels downloaded, and has info on "genre" included, see xmltvnz at http://www.reven.co.nz . It is a c# screenscraper and works under linux (using mono) or windows. It is actively developed as various websites change their formats. It is however a little slow and a bit heavy on memory usage. -- Nick Rout From mythtvnz@lists.linuxnut.co.nz Thu Mar 30 00:04:45 2006 From: mythtvnz@lists.linuxnut.co.nz (Nick Rout) Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 11:04:45 +1200 Subject: [mythtvnz] Re: EPG data on hairy.geek.nz In-Reply-To: <20060330100250.A5DC.NICK@rout.co.nz> References: <1143665309.8114.23.camel@localhost.localdomain> <20060330100250.A5DC.NICK@rout.co.nz> Message-ID: <20060330105838.A5DF.NICK@rout.co.nz> On Thu, 30 Mar 2006 10:18:23 +1200 Nick Rout wrote: > > If you want a system that is fully configurable as to channels > downloaded, and has info on "genre" included, see xmltvnz at > http://www.reven.co.nz .

General Entertainment Te Karere Scott Morrison presents the latest news and current affairs in Te Reo Maori. News [snip] Note the "category" info, which i don't think any of the DVB solutions provide. also note that including tv3 generates a segfault for me, but choosing to get the tv3 info from sky (option sky_tv3) works fine. There is a handy web app for generating your command line here: http://reven.co.nz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=29&Itemid=46 It'll give you a good idea of the options available. Also note that the memory and cpu usage problems I had were when greedily grabbing 10 days worth of listings.

In the mean time what's the best way to disable my recording schedule?

The satellite signal was lost after a routine positioning procedure to the satellite by Optus. This effectively meant that the SKY transmission signal was lost to New Zealand and to Australian customers. Optus immediately acknowledged the problem and set about its correction. The satellite is communicating correctly with Optus ground stations. Optus has commenced a =E2=80=9Cre-pointing=E2=80=9D manoeuvre t= o correct the signal. SKY satellite customers can continue to access SKY Sport 1 on UHF service. Other satellite programming will be restored as soon as Optus has realigned the signal. UHF services are unaffected.

D1 was originally planned for last year I believe. And B1 is well past it's planned life end, so these problems are not suprising.

Azureus has a web plugin that pretty much allows you to do anything that you can normally do. I like the client a lot, although it can be a bit "heavy" and needs X to run (but you can still run it "behind" mythfrontend).

Another good solution if the speaker is on the motherboard is to stick a small blob of bluetack into the opening. This is sometimes necessary on internal modems.
