Preparing to Create Slices

You need to download the xmltv2tivo.tar file to a Linux/Unix machine and unpack it. Change to the directory and do a make.

I've prepared a replacement zap2itgenres.txt file for the genres I've found to date mapped to TiVo genres.

You need to now edit the stations.txt file

In this file you put the "TiVo Number" from day 2 and the XML channel name. Edit the xml file you created to find out their name. So for example, in my file I have for "Canal+ Action"

  <channel id="XMLTV_Import_action.canalplus.se">
    <display-name lang="sv">CANAL+ Action</display-name>
    <icon src="http://xmltv.tvsajten.com/chanlogos/action.canalplus.se.png"/>
  </channel>
 

 So in stations.txt I need

# XMLTV RFC2838 channel name    Tivo Channel FSID
"XMLTV_Import_first.canalplus.se" 7300101
"XMLTV_Import_comedy.canalplus.se" 7300102
"XMLTV_Import_drama.canalplus.se" 7300103
"XMLTV_Import_hits.canalplus.se" 7300104
"XMLTV_Import_action.canalplus.se" 7300105

 For my first example channels I gave before. Continue for all the rest of the channels. If you are using Excel or Openoffice to do this work for you, it's easier...
