This guide will get you through the basic setup of getting xmltv running so you can use it with ontv.
first things first... get on synaptics and get your programs.... look for ontv (applet) and xmltv (pearl script).
once installed open up a terminal and type the following:
Britain and Ireland tv_grab_uk_rt
Canada and United States tv_grab_na_dd, tv_grab_na
Germany tv_grab_de_tvtoday
New Zealand tv_grab_nz
Finland tv_grab_fi
Italy tv_grab_it
Spain tv_grab_es, tv_grab_es_digital
Netherlands tv_grab_nl, tv_grab_nl_wolf
Denmark tv_grab_dk
Hungary and Romania tv_grab_huro
Japan tv_grab_jp
Sweden tv_grab_se
France tv_grab_fr
Norway tv_grab_no
Portugal tv_grab_pt
Based on where you are type in the tv_grab command followed by --configure eg: tv_grab_na_dd --configure
this will take you through a configuration guide which will also make you register with a website to retrive the files from.
once that is finished retype your tv_grab based on your location followed by an output file name e.g.
tv_grab_na_dd --output (path and desired file name) eg /xmltv/listings/local.xml or listings.xml(failure to specify a path may cause the file to become unfindable)
once thats finished
you have the option of running tv_sort if your having program overlaps ect. ect. but if you have the wrong programs on all channels than you probably have the wrong area, or time zone (mine was off by an hour due to Daylight savings time)
the command would be as follows
tv_sort --output (name and path of output file) inputfile (replace inputfile with the path and name of the original download)
load your file in gotv and select the channeles to watch
your good to go so lets make a basic list of commands than:
tv_grab_xxxx --configure
tv_grab_xxxx --output XXXXXXXX.xml
tv_sort --output XXXXXXXX.xml XXXXXXXX.xml
this should do the trick\\:D/
