Re: [PLUG] MythTV/tuner rescan needed this Friday 2019-08-02 |
I have raised a support ticket there and I'm really surprised they do not have a FAQ on it. To answer Jeff's question I did not post to the MythTV forum. I just searched on it some more and found nothing useful.
Maybe I need to remap something, but it's not clear what or how. I did fiddle in the channel editor, esp. with the XMLID, but so far I've failed.

Get the details at http://tvanswers.com/whenResultsZip.asp, but lots of channels around Philly are changing "June 22, 2019 - August 2, 2019" or basically this Friday.That said, it's not 100% clear to me what the ideal way to fix this is. You'd think that would be all over, but if it is I can't find it. I think, like in this list, fewer and fewer technical folks are bothering with broadcast & MythTV anymore.This would be PERFECT...if it actually had a definitive answer: https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?t=3012.This looks good, but it's not clear to me if a) this is a correct use-case or b) if it will actually work: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Updating_Channel_Lineup, see also https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythfilldatabase.Note I use schedulesdirect.org (AKA was DataDirect ages ago) for the EPG. This Friday I'm planning to: 1. Backup the DB 2. mythfilldatabase --do-channel-updates --dd-grab-all 3. systemctl restart mythtv-backend.service And see what happens. If that fails, then: Applications > System > MythTV Backend Setup (will CLOSE Myth Server!) 5.

Fetch channels from listings source Starting channel: 3_1 Interactions between inputs: defaults [ HDHOMERUN : 192.168.nn.95-1 ] Same Try to watch each channel & note results Sort through and disable bad channels Applications > System > MythTV Backend Setup 6. Channel Editor Does anyone have any more or better clues? Thanks,
