 Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2007 5:40 pm Post subject: Linux client for CTTVListings |
 |
|
It's displayed pretty predominately on the web site that CTTVListings works with mythtv. But, all I see for CTTVListings is a Windows client and mythtv doesn't run on Windows.
Is there a Linux client available? Or, does CTTVListings not work with mythtv? |

| Not knowing exactly how MythTV works but using GBPVR I know that you don't actually need to have a client as long as the software supports CTListings. All you need is a username and password which you enter into the software and it downloads the listings itself. |

Hi levander,
From my understanding people that are using our listings service for MythTV use our Windows listings app. They download the listings to a location that MythTV can import from. I'm sorry I can not offer much more information than that.
You may want to ask the MythTV developers why they do not consider adding direct support to our service. Much in the way they did for Schedules Direct. It would help MythTV to do so since we would give back a percent of our sales in the form of a donation to them each month.
We currently are working hard on the new CTpvr v3, which leaves us little time to learn about Linux to add the support to MythTV ourselves.
Regards,
Carm. |

I actually logged on today to look for a way just to download the listings.
Why do you have a specific client to download them? Isn't it just a file that's being downloaded?
Is it not possible just to use HTTP to download it?
If it is, I can just use the command line utility wget on Linux to download them. You can supply command line arguments to wget to specify a username and password if that's somehow the problem. |

Well, I just downloaded the listings file from the web. I chose the "XMLTV - Id as Zap2It" format because looking at some old files I had downloaded from zap2it, it looked like that was the format they were using....
I tried mythfilldatabase, here's the output:
| Code: |
levander@bread:~$ mythfilldatabase --refresh-all --do-channel-updates --dd-file 1 3 GA10439 ./listings.xml

I think the "QDateTime::fromString: Parameter out of range" message is why mythfilldatabase isn't finding anything to update it's database with. |

Hi levander,
The download type that is similar to the old Zap2it service is the one labeled "Zap2it Format" which is the option on the right. The other two are XMLTV compatible.
