zap2epg not creating xmltv.xml #30

Closed dschroed-7 closed 3 years ago

dschroed-7 commented 3 years ago

Just installed Kodi 19 on my Linux Mint 20.1 system. I am trying to use zap2epg with Tvheadend and HDHomeRun Extend. I have the channels showing up in Tvheadend and Kodi, but have been unable to get any epg data. I seem to be stuck in a rut!

I really can't even reproduce all the steps I've taken but sometimes I'm able to get "tv_grab_zap2epg is a simple grabber for USA-Canada" as an EPG Grabber Module in Tvheadend, and sometimes it disappears. I think, then I have to uninstall zap2epg from Kodi and reinstall. But, then I have to soft link some of the files to the hts directory (created by Kodi when adding Tvheadend) and change permissions on some of the files. There was a time I was able to create xtmltv.xml file, but that disappeared and I can't seem to recreate it. Anyway, when I lose the "tv_grab_zap2epg is a simple grabber for USA-Canada" option again I have to start over with uninstalling/reinstalling zap2epg.

I'd be happy to provide any information I could. I just don't know where to start. I would really appreciate any help you could provide, as I've been working on this project for several days. BTW, in case you couldn't tell, I'm a Linux newbie (which means that I have to research how to do all terminal entries), and never used Tvheadend or zap2epg before.

My pleasure, with the "assist". Here's hoping nothing changes in Kodi or TVheadend, for a looooong time!
