TV-Browser-Forum

Since I've removed my settings folder from the home directory, it doesnt' work any longer :-(

Martin, could you please exactly tell what you have done?

Have you downloaded the Plugin from the Downloads-Page? What have you done with the Error-Messsages. Have you ignored them?

I don't get it running :(

[quote="Martin"]Did you enable the channel group in the channel groups settings?

I tried it with the R2G 1P2 zip code and it worked: http://tvbrowser.org/downloads/temp/zap2it.jpg[/quote]

Everything in the Channel Group settings is enabled. Although I don't have anything listed in them that says Zap2it. When I try to refresh the list I get the following error

[zap2itimporter.error#java.io.IOException]

I tried putting in a US postal code and got the same error.

Can you try it with a candian postal code? R2G 1P2

You can look them up here if you want to try others.

I don't know - I just entered any zip code.

Did you specify a lineup in your settings on the zap2it website?[/quote]

I did.

I've tried it. There were a lot of errors, but finally it worked ;-)

I just checked the Plugin. But it's even worse :(. The zap2it-Service has changed something in their Protocoll. We need to update it completely.

We will focus on an international Version that will fix this and add an international WebPage within the next few months. Sorry to say this, but you have to wait until that Version is ready before you can start using TV-Browser.

Ah, So I am not going insane then.

What version does it work with? Where can I find older versions?

thanks

Wesley

I haven't tried the Plugin with Version 2.1 of TV-Browser, but I think it's broken at the moment :(. We changed some stuff in the Dataservice-System.

Can anyone confirm this?

Hi,

I am a Canadian trying to use TV-Browser with the Zap2it plugin but I am not having much luck. I am trying to install it on a Macintosh running 10.4.3.

I have the instructions from http://wiki.tvbrowser.org/index.php/Zap2it but I haven't found them to helpful.

English short-info

Download zap2it.jar from here (http://www.tvbrowser.org/plugins.php) and copy it to /tvdataservice.

[color=red](I downloaded the plugin but I can't find /tvdataservice. I do have a folder called /users/[myusername]/library/application support/tv-browser/tvdata. When I put the file in there, it doesn't show up. I tried putting it in /users/[myusername]/library/application support/tv-browser/plugins, contrary to the advice below, and it does show up in the preferences screen under tvdataservices. Is this right?)[/color]

DO NOT USE THE STANDARD /plugins-FOLDER.

Register an account at labs.zap2it (http://labs.zap2it.com), using the certificate code: TVBR-MLUZ-PWXA. Select any channels you want using "add a lineup".

[color=red](Did this)[/color]

Start tvbrowser. Enter the zap2it-account information into zap2it settings (Settings => TvDataService => Zap2It-Importer). Update the channellist (using setting => channels => update channel list) and suscribe to all zap2it-channels in tvbrowser.

zap2it requires users to fill out a survey every 6 months. The plugin will remind you after every update.

Use the following parameters if tvbrowser crashs or throws an OutOfMemory-Exception: java -jar -Xms256M -Xmx256M tvbrowser.jar

Any Advice would be appriciated.

p.s. If your English isn't so good, I did take a few years of German in middle school but I am quite rusty.
