Hi I would like some help on how to configure mythfilldatabase for u.k to run my xmltv in the uk, and what commands to type to set this up, I have a combined mythbuntu 8.04 0.21 Hardy backend/frontend machine. I have typed the following in the Terminal tv_grab_uk_rt --configure it then runs the all the channels for selection with yes or no prompts once completed,I type tv_grab_uk_rt>PAL-TV.XML,it starts to retrieve channel list once download completes I run mythfilldatabase --manual this fails with FAILED: xmltv returned error code 65280.No channels are configured to use grabber can anyone help thx.

THIS IS MY MYTHFILLDATABASE LOG

sohail@sohail-desktop:~$ mythfilldatabase --manual ###

Running in manual channel configuration mode.

This will ask you questions about every channel.

Hi,

You've created a PAL-TV.xmltv file the user that was logged on when you ran tv_grab_uk_rt --configure but not for the mythtv user. So do the following to copy the configuration to the correct user:-

updatedb locate PAL-TV

it'll list files with the name PAL-TV copy the file PAL-TV.xmltv to /home/mythtv/.mythtv/PAL-TV .xmltv

Or run mythtv-setup say yes to run mythfilldatabase configure, and when the update stops at 50% go to the active terminal windows and complete the configuration. The configuration script seems to start in the background so you don't see it on the screen until you task switch.
