Help with HDHomerun Prime

Post by ecksii »

I'm having trouble getting my HDHomerun Prime setup. I have the device setup with a cablecard from my CATV company. It works beautifully. I can point VLC at my hdhomerunprime through it's channel URL and watch the Mets in glorious high definition. The problem is that the VLC interface is a bit much for other members of my family so I'd like to get this content into MythTV. I've chosen this path:

* I've setup a virtual machine running CentOS 7 linux.
* I've installed mythtv from the nux-dextop packages
* I've installed xmltv-1.1.2 from rpmfusion packages

My first problem is with xmltv:

Code: Select all

-sh-4.2$ tv_grab_na_dd --configure
using config filename /var/lib/mythtv/.xmltv/tv_grab_na_dd.conf


Time OFFSET Selection (note: not a timeZONE)
It is better to specify +0000 and let the final application
deal with a local conversion (helps with DST issues), but you
can specify a Time Offset if desired.
+0000 UTC
-0400 Eastern  Daylight
-0500 Eastern  Standard or Central Daylight
-0600 Central  Standard or Mountain Daylight
-0700 Mountain Standard or Pacific Daylight
-0800 Pacific  Standard
Timezone offset (+/-####) (+0000)

Schedules Direct registration required in advance.

-sh-4.2$

Please note that I have another MythTV box and this command works completely fine. Both boxes are behind the same NAT. Both were installed with the same Ansible. They should be effectively identical but I must conclude that they can't be because the behave differently. This of course assumes that xmltv is deterministic in it behaviour.
