Setup Instructions: README.md

I wrote this quick utility after a bit of frustration getting my HDHomerun Prime to play in XBMC. The Perl scripts I found would work for some channels but not others and the experience setting it up seemed just too complex, so here ya go. This utility will help in discovering the channels from your HDHR, caching them, then allow you to select your favorites for use in the TV Guide addon or just to create the strm files if you want.

Please let me know if this helps you!

See all screenshots in the Dropbox Screenshots Folder

ok.. i got the strm files to export.. but how do i get tv guide addon to read them? everytime i select a show from the xmltv file, it asks me to select which stream file i want.. seems kind of annoying to have to do it for every channel

great app btw

ok.. i found this.. 9. Choose Tools > Configure Using Favorite Channels
9.a. This will publish each favorite channel to TVGuide and
associate the stream files with each

but when i associate it to the .db file.. it says cannot open up database file... any ideas?

Hmm in the settings you mean? It isn't actually opening the database just storing the path. Post a screenshot if you can.

those are my settings.. when i run the command.. i get the error at the top for how many times it tries to write for each strm file..

this is what it says in the GUI:

Wrote channel: 1474 - GMHD5 With stream path: C:\Users\Ryan\Documents\Programs\hdhrconfig\strm\1474 - GAME HD 5.strm

for each file..

but then it gets the above error each time... cannot open database file


and it doesnt associate anything in that settings.xml file

and then the program finally errors out: see the pastebin

"unable to open database file"

If you hit browse, can you find that file through the dialog? (I'm wondering if you have maybe edited the default path and in actuality the file isn't there)

yeah... i went and manually found it...

So it's working for ya now?

no.. im sorry, i meant, that file exists, i navigated to it.. still runninginto that error..

Have you tried running the app as administrator in case it's a permissions issue?
