tv_grab_uk_pdr
Installation Guide
(last updated 15 Jan 2006)Firstly, download tv_grab_uk_pdr.bz2 and decompress it.
Then copy the script (as root) to /usr/local/bin/ and ensure it is executable:
# cp tv_grab_uk_pdr /usr/local/bin/ # chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/tv_grab_uk_pdr
Now backup your existing tv_grab_uk_rt and replace it with a link to the new script:
# mv /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt.OLD # ln -s /usr/local/bin/tv_grab_uk_pdr /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt
Since your existing config file for tv_grab_uk_rt will be overwritten, back
it up before proceeding. It will be in /home/mythtv/.mythtv/.
You should now be able to rerun the mythtv-setup program and select the above script. I have had some trouble with a friend's setup and I had to add in the xmltvids into the mysql database manually. The following is how it ended up:
