The next device I added to my misterhouse proxy running on my router is the Velleman K8055 IO board. This is a USB powered experimental IO board with 8 outputs, 5 inputs, 2 DAC outputs and 2 analog inputs. I used the k8055 openwrt kernel module from the sourceforge project homepage. (more…)
After installing misterhouse on my openwrt router I started adding devices. I plugged a 1-wire usb interface into my router and started playing around. There are at least two software programs that work for me in openwrt kamikaze 8.09 (more…)
XMLTV is an XML based format for TV listings that is used by many software packages to provide you with TV schedules for watching and recording TV shows. Some examples of programs that can use XMLTV listings are MythTV, MV enigma dreambox plugin, etc
Some months ago I discovered that the perl module named tv_grab_be which is part of the XMLTV software suite, was no longer working. The site also indicates that the module is “removed due to source site blocking ” So I start looking for another way to receive my TV listings. What I found was a much better and quicker tool. mc2xml is a tool to do the same but offers more powerful options like provider selection, channel selection, logo downloads etc … Even the Belgium TV Vlaanderen satelite provider is selectable from the list of providers and this perfectly what I needed.
If you are a mythtv user, this is a must have tool in my opinion.
