I've tried installing the various versions of this as per the readme (via the zip) and I keep getting "installation failed"...

I'm running Dharma 10.0 and trying to install: script.program.xmltv-0.1.2.zip

here's the log:

01:46:29 T:2680 M:1253306368 ERROR: Could not read addon description of script.program.xmltv

Hello, I install via zip this addon XBMC Dharma, and it´s ok...

I configured addon, and setting the default for file XML

I have the correct path to the XMLTV folder set and have a xmltv.xml file in it.

The file is read correctly by another XMLTV reader so I think it is ok.

Is this format supported ?

http://github.com/downloads/Wanilton/Vox.../xmltv.xml

But after loading appears error the XML file not found...why??

thanks for now...

[denhams]

Is this format supported ?

If you read the rest of this thread and the README in install zip it tells you to validate your XML file first. Here's what I get with yours:

Code:

$ tv_validate_file xmltv.xml
Line 3 Invalid channel-id '100'
Line 7 Invalid channel-id '121'
Line 11 Invalid channel-id '124'
Line 15 Invalid channel-id '126'
...
...

There is an example in the README for generating validate XMLTV files.

First, thanks for your work!

My xmltv-files are valid.

Code:

nikolai@XBMCLive:~/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.program.xmltv/xmltv$ tv_validate_file orf1.search.ch.xml
Validated ok.
nikolai@XBMCLive:~/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.program.xmltv/xmltv$ tv_validate_file orf2.search.ch.xml
Validated ok.

but i there still the message: no xmltv files found

in debug.log:

Code:

23:10:58 T:2780494704 M:972894208  NOTICE: Cannot read /home/nikolai/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.program.xmltv/xmltv/orf1.search.ch.xml

The path to the xml-files is right.

What could I also try?

What could I also try?

It looks to me like a bug in the library that reads the files. Please can you tell me how you generate/download your files? I will need one to do the debugging.

Thanks,

Stephen.

I use the grabber "tv_grab_ch_search" from xmltv-0.5.59

the xml files:
http://rapidshare.com/files/448637869/xmltv.zip

Maybe it is because of the german umlauts ( ä, ö, ü) ?

No, it was 2 bugs in the addon itself

You can download a new version at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc-xml...p/download

BTW, there are still a couple of issues:

- Channel logos are missing but that is a problem in the xmltv grabber (<icon> tags are missing).
- Channels swr, tw1, euronews, finelivingnetwork, wdr and dwtv don't load.

I will need to debug these missing channels some more.

The command I used to generate the files was:

Code:

rm ~/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.program.xmltv/xmltv/*xml
tv_grab_ch_search --day 1 | tv_sort | tv_split --output ~/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.program.xmltv/xmltv/%channel%.xml

Please let me know how you get on.

Stephen.

Thank you very much, I will test the new code the next few days.

I run XBMC Dharma on an X64 with Ubuntu.

I was able to get the plugin to install but had issues with my xmltv data.
I use mc2xml with the legacy microsoft service I only have like 10 channels...

I just got my xmltv to validate after taking the mc2xml and running it through the tv_sort | tv_split blah blah:

Ultra60:/mnt/Nokdim/Apps/xmltv$ tv_validate_file I77.28460787.microsoft.com.xml
Validated ok.

I am not at home so I cant test but I had a question.
I use a device called the HDHomerun by silicondust as my tuner.
I can tune to live channels in XBMC via a .strm file that looks like this:

hdhomerun://1020DE40-0/tuner0?channel=qam256:68&program=1

Is there a way to use this plugin to have it point to these strm files or to the hdhomerun xbmc provided source instead of using hts tvhead end to tune to live channels?

[nokdim]

Ok so my xmltv files are still having issues even after I run the tv_validate_file and I get the ok...

Here is the link to the XML file

Can you take a look at this xml file and see what wrong with it.

[denhams]

Thanks for posting that. Your XML file uses a slightly different 'info' tag value than the addon expects. I have included this in new version 0.1.5. Please try installing:

The addon only can launch a single plugin/script per XMLTV info URL. In your case, you could try adding settings:

XMLTV Source Info URL = mailto:[email protected] (which is the generator-info-url in your XMLTV file).

TV plugin = hdhomerun://1020DE40-0/tuner0

That might give you a list of all hdhomerun channels when you select a channel from the addon. It does for htsp:// (tvheadend) so hdhomerun might be the same.

I shall try to improve the addon to allow direct per channel selection as this would be useful.

Version 0.1.5 fixed my xmltv file issues and now I can see my listings!!!

As far as being able to tune to a channel the hdhomerun doesnt give me a list of channels when I browse it like tvheadend does.

I have all my .strm files in one directory which is a source in XBMC.

The folder is /home/neurosuser/Live TV/ and is known as "Live TV" when I go to files under Video in XBMC.
I changed the TV Plugin to point to /home/neurosuser/Live TV/ and that seems to take me to that directory when I click any channel.

Yeah having a per channel selection would be nice but what a mess to manage if you have lots of channels...

Is there a way to assign icons or thumbs to each channel if my xmltv file doesnt contain any image file?

Thanks again for your help!

Yes, that should work OK, so you have settings like:

XMLTV Source Info URL = mailto:[email protected]
TV plugin = /home/neurosuser/Live TV/

Is there a way to assign icons or thumbs to each channel if my xmltv file doesnt contain any image file?

The only way is to edit your XML and add "icon=..." to the <tv> tag. You could probably to that with an awk/sed/perl script.
