Just a few questions:

How do I get the recordserver running?

How do I set the TV_RECORD_DIR? Putting "TV_RECORD_DIR="/home/bla" does not work.

How to use xmltv to create /tmp/TV.xml?

Thanks

1. freevo recordserver start

2. set it in /etc/freevo/local_conf.py

3. tv_grab_na_dd --output /tmp/TV.xml (something like that)

Thought I did those before, but must not have... the first 2 worked perfectly. tv_grab_na_dd --configure does not like my username and password for some reason, even though I entered my correct user name and password in. Does that have to be configured some other way? Thanks

Just a thought, have you renewed your subscription to Zap2it Labs? I thought I was having problems with it a bit ago and realized their site listed my account as expired, maybe this is your problem, maybe not.

BTW :

I never figured out why there is the path to the xmltv program within Freevo config file, since freevo never seemd to launch the grabber at any time ...

Any ideas ?

You can copy that file to ~/.freevo/local_conf.py and edit that one instead . This way every user on the machine can have their own settings, and you don't have to be root or use sudo when editing the config file.
