Installation

cd $SOURCEDIR
wget http://jrepetto.free.fr/mhwepg-<VERSION>.tar.gz
tar zxvf mhwepg-<VERSION>.tar.gz
cd mhwepg-<VERSION>
wget www.lukkinosat.altervista.org/loadepg-0.4.tar.bz2
tar jxvf loadepg-0.4.tar.bz2
patch < mhwepg-0.4.2.diff
make

PATH in der loadepg.pl wie folgt anpassen:

- system( "./mhwepg -o /tmp/epg.tmp &>/var/log/mhwepg.log" );
+ system( "/usr/local/bin/mhwepg -o /tmp/epg.tmp &>/var/log/mhwepg.log" );

Kopieren.

cp mhwepg loadepg.pl /usr/local/bin

Konfiguration

Bequemer via crontab + updateepg.sh (Scripts sollte man sich anpassen).

Viel verkehrt kann man nicht machen, der mhwepg.log ist unter /var/log zu finden, bei Erfolg:

UTC Offset = 0
Country = ESP, Region = 1
Local Time Offset = 3600
Next Local Time Offset = 7200
Date of change = 25/03/2001
Reading titles ...
Reading summaries ...
Nb of summaries : 12419
Nb of titles : 11588
Writing EPG data to file ...
Nb of channels = 82

Auslagerort ist /tmp:/var beides ist in der loadepg.pl definiert, und kann dort angepasst werden:

system( "./mhwepg -o /tmp/epg.tmp &>/var/log/mhwepg.log" );
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
....
open( FILE, "/tmp/epg.tmp" );
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Probleme

Don't know if something changed in the driver in kernel 2.6, but I couldn't get the program to work even after patching. It seems that the default buffer size is too small for everything to work smoothly. What solved my problem was adding the following lines at the beginning of SetFiltSection, right after the line struct dmx_sct_filter_params sctFilterParams;

        if (ioctl(fd, DMX_SET_BUFFER_SIZE, 10*188*1024)<0) {
          perror("DMX SET BUFFER SIZE");
          exit(0);
        }

I'm puzzled because 10*188*1024 should be the default buffer size, but before the modification it didn't work, now it does so....

Wer trotzdem noch Probleme hat, EPG-Informationen zu empfangen, kann versuchen das Modul 'dvb-core' mit der Option 'dvb_shutdown_timeout=0' zu laden. Dadurch soll verhindert werden, dass die Karte nach kurzer Zeit das Signal verliert.
