[Solved] No channels are configured to use grabber

[djotaku]

This is driving me nuts - I've done tons of googling and searching these boards, but I can't find anyone who's had this issue.

Things were running fine for a while and now it's not downloading any data from Schedules Direct. I'm not surprised about this because when I run mythfill database it says:

"No channels are configured to use the grabber"

But that doesn't make any sense. The channels are from my OTA source and that source is set to use Schedules Direct. I've scoured the settings and I can't figure out where I've hit a wrong checkbox or something to cause this not to work.

Platform: Fedora 29
MythTV version: Mythtv-30.0-7320190601git6bd8cd4993

Thanks,

Best guess is that no xmltvids have been configured. The actual SQL (that's returning 0 matches) is:

Code: Select all

SELECT COUNT(chanid) FROM channel WHERE sourceid = 1 AND xmltvid != '';

(and I used sourceid 1 just as an example, yours could be different)

[djotaku]

how do I do that?

[djotaku]

When I run your command I get count(chanid) and in the bottom box is a 0

From another post I found I could easily add those using mythweb. So I just need to figure out what the xmltvid numbers should be.

[djotaku]

OK, I used schedules direct and another site to match up the call-signs to the xmltvid numbers and now everything wowrks. Huzzah!

[djotaku]

is there a way to mark threads as solved on this board?

Yes, but it's manual. Edit the Subject: of the 1st post in the thread (it's already done.)
