Yes, Freevo uses extra XML modules among other things.

 From freevo_config.py:

If you want to generate a list of all the channels in the XMLTV guide
in this format you can run the following command:

    "freevo execute epg_xmltv.py config"

You must have an XMLTV listing in /tmp/TV.xml before running it, and
TV_CHANNELS below must be set to None. The output contains guesses for
the displayed name and TV channel name. You can edit this list, delete
lines, reorder it, etc. For instance, put all your favorite channels
first.

Hello,

I now get a TV guide listing, however, whenI select a
channel to view, Freevo crashes.  Here is what the
'internal-main.log' has to say:

-----
Calling action "<function start_tv at 0x82a5654>"
Crash!
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 414, in ?
    main_func()
  File "main.py", line 406, in main_func
    getcmd()
  File "main.py", line 284, in getcmd
    menuwidget.eventhandler(event)
  File "menu.py", line 211, in eventhandler
    action( arg=menu.selected.arg, menuw=self )
  File "tv.py", line 68, in start_tv
    tvapp.Play(mode, channel)
  File "mplayer_tv.py", line 153, in Play
    self.TunerSetChannel(tuner_channel)
  File "mplayer_tv.py", line 127, in TunerSetChannel
    for pos in range(len(config.TV_CHANNELS)):
TypeError: len() of unsized object

Sorry for constantly posting these; just not entirely
sure what it means :-(

TIA,

What is your TV_CHANNELS set to? It looks like it is 'None'.

That is correct.  I was going by this in the
freevo_conf.py:

> Use "TV_CHANNELS = None" to get all channels when

Which I am now thinking I have mis-interpreted :-)  I
guess once I have run the 'epg_xmltv.py' stand-alone
to get the translated channels, I then need to
actually input the channels in the proper format in
the conf file?  I thought I just left 'TV_CHANNELS' as
'none'.

Yep.

I updated freevo_config.py to make this clearer.
