Re: mythtv cannot setup

You need to install XMLTV. There doesn't appear to be a precompiled version that you can install with pacman so you'll need to download and compile it from the source code.

You can get it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmltv

Make sure you get the package "xmltv_prereq" as well as it has numerous plugins which are required in order for XMLTV to build properly.

Re: mythtv cannot setup

Thanks Guys.
I was getting xmltv from one of the TURs servers, but that wasn't working for the uk, so I removed it and installed from source, which works fine. and mythtv can find it to run.

cheers
