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.
(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?)
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".
(Did this)
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.
(When I try to do an "update channellist", I get an error message saying "Update Failed")
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.
