Can you install XMLTV 0.5.69-1 on Jessie?

[elsmandino]

Hello,

Very much a Linux novice, still getting to grips with things.

I have just installed Openmediavault 3 (based upon Debian Jessie) on my server with the intention of running TVHeadend on it.

Everything has gone well until I tried to use my Schedules Direct account for the EPG.

I installed XMLTV

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xmltv

and was hoping to pick the tv_grab_zz_sdjson grabber from within TVHeadend but it was not one of the options.

After a lot of digging and asking in forums, it turns out that the reason is that the standard Debian version of XMLTV is 0.5.63-2.

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/xmltv

Unfortunately, this version does not contain the grabber than I need that - is only available in version 0.5.69-1.

Considering that I am a real beginner at Linux is there any resonable way that I can still install the latest version on my system?

Thanks in advance.

Since they have their own Jessie-based repository, it would be best if they backported the 5.69 version in Stretch to their own repository.

However, since it's a simple Perl program, I should also be able to backport it myself in a minute...here you go:

You must install all four deb packages

Code: Select all

# dpkg-i *.deb

I would recommend running

Code: Select all

apt-get -f install

afterwards, (Edit: again as root or with sudo), to make sure you have all the dependencies.

Thank you soooooooooo much for this - really do appreciate it.

I am such a Linux noob that I am slightly embarrassed to admit that I am not quite sure what to do with that zip file now - I am connecting to Openmediavault via Putty.

What should I do next?

What computer environments do you have available to use?

Google is your friend if you want to know "how to I unzip a zip file in Debian?" "How do I install deb files?" "How do I run as sysadmin in Debian?"

I have my current Windows 10 Server (which I can use as a desktop) as well as a Laptop, running Mint.

This is what I originally tried:

I logged onto OMV with putty.

Code: Select all

sudo wget https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxE7wbgixC4GUTcwY29sVkowZG8

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install unzip

Code: Select all

sudo unzip 0BxE7wbgixC4GUTcwY29sVkowZG8.zip

It then tells me that it cannot find that zip file.

[elsmandino]

Sorry forget that - cannot believe that I got it so wrong!

Here's what I have since done:

I unzipped the nine files (on my windows machine) and put them on a USB stick.

I then copied those nine files to my /home folder.

I then did the following:

Code: Select all

Was this the expected outcome?

Yes.
dpkg doesn't resolve dependencies.

I would recommend running

Code: Select all

apt-get -f install

afterwards to make sure you have all the dependencies.

IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot thank you guys enough - I have spent literally months messing with this and annoyed countless forums over that time.

Lots of other people have had the same problems, so I will send them here for the files that were supplied.

Thanks again - can get on with enjoying Linux now.
