Hi Bazza,
I did try to give

Code:

sudo chmod 777 /root/.xmltv/program_cache.tmp

it complains it can't get acces to `/root/.xmltv/program_cache.tmp': file or folder does not exists
so i tried

Code:

sudo chmod 777 /root/.xmltv/program_cache

wich seems to work but when i open dolphin and goto the file it still says owner root and is the only one with read and right access.

Coley, hi,

Yes iirc i did run mythfilldatabase under sudo,
if i understand correctly i have to change te permissions on the cache folder, how do i do that?

br,
Raymond

Hi Andrew,

As always, great work!
I can confirm its faster, but as you said there is room for improvement

Uplink made some notes on some ideas i have about the way information is presented,
are you guys going to implement them?
If you want me to make a mockup of those ideas pls, let me know.

br,
Raymond

Hi Matt,
thanks for the reply,

Why do you not use EIT if you don't mind me asking?

i am using a analog tuner (EIT seems for dvb only), the dvb-c provider in my area requires a CI+ decoder (sadly ) and to my knowledge there is no way to use that in MythTv with a pci-(e)-dvb-tuner.

Code:

mythfilldatabase --graboptions "--debug"

since you don't know if its safe to run
i will wait till someone knows its safe (and investigate further myself )

Permissions problem?

do you know how to check and how to change it? in some other forum i found similar but no solution.

br,
Raymond

i am using  tv_grab_nl_py-r104 as my grabber,
whenever i run mythfilldatabase, mythweb backend status shows:

Code:

Last mythfilldatabase run started on 2011-07-19 06:54 and ended on 2011-07-19 07:03. FAILED: xmltv returned error code 256.
There's guide data until 2011-07-25 09:55 (6 days).

any thoughts on how to solve this?

br,
Raymond

all seems fine now, thanks to all who helped.
and i am more than happy to test and help this way.

br,
Raymond

Hi Karel,

thanks for the quick response, actually it did not create the /usr/pluto/orbiter/bits directory,
after creating that it sadly still did not work,

br,
Raymond

see the tail end of this thread for details of how to get & install the new proxy_orbiter from svn

Could you please explain a bit more because this thread is only 1 post long
thanks upfront,
br,
Raymond

Andrew or Uplink, i got into a bit of trouble could one of you help?

i installed
http://deb.linuxmce.org/pluto-proxy-orbiter_2.0.0.44.11071224175_i386.deb
http://deb.linuxmce.org/pluto-website-admin_2.0.0.44.11071224175_i386.deb
and the new Dianemo iOS Orbiter v1.2.

also created a dir: sudo mkdir -p /usr/pluto/orbiter/bits

but the Dianemo iOS Orbiter v1.2 and the existing RoamingOrb are not working anymore

i did: /usr/pluto/bin/Proxy_Orbiter -d 40 -r localhost which gave me:

Code:

Proxy_Orbiter, v.2.0.0.44.11071224175

Just to let everybody know, now it IS available

br,
Raymond

Very cool! Thanks a lot.
Will you guys implement other iOs-UI elements in the future as well?
Is your goal to replace the whole (proxy) orbiter-UI with native-OS elements?

Br
Raymond

Looking good, great work!
The thing i am missing a bit are the left-hand alphabet-search-keys, are they going to be implemented in another way?

br,
Raymond

Hi Andrew and Uplink,

great work, looks amazing!
can't wait to be able to use it myself 
will it be implemented into lmce 810 and 1004?

br,
Raymond

Hi Andrew,

How is the speed compared to the touch-orbiter and could you show some screen-shots (say as a preview )?

br,
Raymond
