I have latest LE build with installed tvheadend. I can't setup xmltv because tv_grab_file not working. It does nothing. How I can fix this?

yes this is known but not fixed yet LibreELEC.tv/tv_grab_file at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

needs to be changed to work with the "new way" similar to

I have been through this on my sd4tvh grabber...you can follow this format change.

original LE 8.x version format:

settings.xml looks like this:

Code

<setting id="sd.username" value="" />

so the grep looks like this...

Code

USERID=`grep id=\"sd.username\" $ADDON_SETTINGS | awk '{print $3 }' | sed -e "s,value=,," -e "s,\",,g"`

in the new LE 9 version - settings.xml looks like this:

Code

<setting id="sd.username"></setting>

So the grep now should look like this...

Code

USERID=`grep id=\"sd.username\" $ADDON_SETTINGS | awk '{print $2 }' | sed -e "s,id=\"sd.username\">,," -e "s,</setting>,,g"`

The only caveat to this is if a setting has not been changed - it will have the text default="true" in the line like this:

Code

<setting id="sd.username" default="true"></setting>

In which case, you may need to consider adding an extra substitution in there like this:

Code

USERID=`grep id=\"sd.username\" $ADDON_SETTINGS | awk '{print $2 }' | sed -e "s,id=\"sd.username\" default=\"true\">,," -e "s,id=\"sd.username\">,," -e "s,</setting>,,g"`

That will make sure both version of the id part are removed.

You should be able to copy and paste my grep line and just replace id=\"sd.username\" with the correect setting ids.

Sorry I didn't just submit a PR - I'm not near my repo right now. Hope this helps!

Could you submit a pr whenever you are near your box ? I have no knowledge about that part and no proper way in testing this. Isn't too urgent so time is no problem.

Will do - I'll see if I can test it tonight.

It works!

VoSed did you just edit the tv_grab_file file on your system or did you change the files and rebuild LE?

If the former - can you attach it here? (it will save me some time when I make the changes in my repo)
