Just to agree with Scott, try asking on the MythTV lists. You will probably want/need to subscribe to them anyway. MythTV is a large sprawling and complicated app to setup, and the lists are invaluable. As a friendly nudge, read on... On Thursday 23 February 2006 01:06, Carlos E. R. wrote:
It complains about the program 'tv_grab_es' not existing. I don't have it anywhere. What is it, where do I get it from? Is it needed at all? If the intention is to tell mythtv what the timetables of the different stations are, I don't think it does exist here, and it would be useless anyway: stations change programs without notice, nor do they keep their own published timetables. How do I tell it not to even try?
tv_grab_es is very likely a part of the xmltv application (which is entirely separate from MythTV.) It does download the tv guide info for your stations. Some sources may well keep up with scheduling changes. Not even trying to use guide data makes MythTV fairly pointless. Might as well use one of the simple TV apps like kdetv etc.
So! What do I do, do I hit it with a hammer? I didn't guess that watching and recording TV would be so damn difficult! :-/
The only advice I can give here is to persevere. When you finally get it all working it is a revelation. Never miss programs, skip all the ads etc. One final suggestion. If you're having trouble doing it all yourself, try the RPM's available from: http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio/apt/suse/ I tried them once, but I must be a masochist, as I still chose to do the whole build myself.
